Back buttons are not consistent from the About us screen on iOS
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

There are two back buttons in the About Us screen and they behave differently. The top back button takes you back to the settings but the bottom back button takes you back to the article you were visiting. [[User:Bhartshorne|Bhartshorne]] ([[User talk:Bhartshorne|talk]]) 22:27, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

So basically the lower 'back' page should also mimic the one on top.

Fixed in https://github.com/wikimedia/WikipediaMobile/pull/158.

There is still a small intermittent issue (lower back button disabled when opening overlays if there is no current history).

This is even worse if you go from Article->Nearby->Settings. The back button will *never* take you back to Nearby, which is intensely confusing.

The back button has 'close' semantics, rather than 'back' semantics. The 'solution' is to hide the navbar when you're in any of the overlays, so that you can not do Article -> Nearby -> Settings. It also makes the overlays truly 'overlays' and less confusing. Should land in 3.2.

Fixed in 03c8e6219078248947660f4f7d7a4a2fd96189b1. Hides nav menu when an overlay shows up.
