Hm… It seems it also happens most frequently when you QUICKLY click on one of the list items. If you open the menu, tap “Playlists” and wait a sec THEN tap the list, you get the back button. however, this isn’t always the case.
Here’s a sample GIF of the problem in action for other’s to understand without setting up the project.
However, I’m not really sure that it’s a bug. The real question is “Why is the nav-clear on those menu items in the first place.?”
Nav-clear means “listen for the next state change and then blow out all history”. That’s exactly what’s happening.
I think it would just be more appropriate to NOT have the nav-clear on anything but a “Home” link in the menu.
