Hi,

Expected behaviour:  
When pushing a view to the navigation stack from a “tabpage” i expect it to get an back button in the header and also that it removes/hides the tabs at the bottom since you no longer are in the selected tab.

Actual behaviour:  
No back button and the tabs are still visible with the “correct” one selected

Am i misunderstanding how navigation works or is this a bug ?

Right, it seems like there was an button all along but it was the same color as the header… lets never talk about it again.
