No Modal Dismiss on setRoot

[n00b42]

Short description of the problem:

• Assume you have 2 pages and a modal.
• Then from Page1 we open the Modal.
• While the modal is still open we issue "setRoot" to Page2 on the root nav.
• The Modal remains visible and is not dismissed.
  (Page1 is successfully poped and Page2 popped in the "background")

What behavior are you expecting?

As it is stated that a modal is pushed to the nav stack and setRoot is said to destroy elements on the nav stack.
Therefore, I would expect the modal to be dismissed too.

OT: Is there already a Plunker template for RC0 or RC1?

Modals are not longer part of the main stack. You have to pop the modal manually, or activate the dismissOnPageChange setting.

Thank you for the explanation.

@manucorporat Actually, there seems to be no "dismissOnPageChange" for Modals, only for Toasts and Loading. At least not within ModalOptions

@n00b42 you are right. I think dismissOnPageChange is not available in modal, because pushing a page inside modal would dismiss it.

I would suggest you to manually close the modal when you setRoot.

@manucorporat Actually, setRoot is called from somewhere else, so its a bit tricky for the modal to "know" when it should close.... but I will think about a workaround
Thank you for your time :)
