Back button missing and History erased from tab view?

[sicsol]

If you have a tab view and click on a link that isn't a child of the tab view it will load in the parent 'nav-view' directive which is good. However once that link is clicked you'll notice that the slide transition isn't in effect anymore and the back button disappears.

Here is a CodePen to see what i'm talking about: http://codepen.io/vialware/pen/wgmLE3

Steps to reproduce:

Click on 'Sign in'
In home click on the 'No Tab' button (no transition and no back button)
Click on 'No Tab 2' everything returns
Is there a way to prevent the tab view from resetting some type of history? That is my only thought as to what might going on here.

The problem with the back button showing between tabs is that its pretty confusing of what the back means. For example, lets say you're in the "home" tab, and go one level deep in the home tab and its back arrow shows. Then you go to the about tab, where the back button would not show. Then you go back to the home tab where the back button shows again. Now should that back button go back to the about tab, or go back to the first view of the home tab?

So each tab is treated as its own separate history stack, and how you have you're own "Go Back" button to get back to tabs is probably the best way to do it. Hope that helps explain it.
