Bug Description

Ubuntu 14.10 r203

1. Navigate to the System Settings overview screen.
2. Choose "Wi-Fi".
3. From the sound indicator menu, choose "Sound Settings...". If bug 1362017 has not yet been fixed, close the indicator menu manually.
4. In System Settings, tap the Back button.

What you see:
2. The "Wi-Fi" screen.
3. The "Sound" screen.
4. The "Wi-Fi" screen.

What you should see:
2. The "Wi-Fi" screen.
3. The "Sound" screen.
4. The main System Settings screen.

The Back button should be hierarchical, taking you to the parent of the current screen, regardless of how you got there. Otherwise it might take you to a screen that you last visited days or weeks ago, that you can't be expected to remember. And if you use indicator menus a lot, for direct access to individual System Settings screens, a history-based Back button makes getting to the System Settings overview unreasonably difficult.

Fixing this bug might fix bug 1359953 automatically.

I agree all these bugs are the same root cause.

summary: - Back button often goes to the wrong screen
+ Navigation should be strictly hierarchical

I don't know for sure that this bug is the cause of bug 1359953, but I do know it would be possible to fix that bug without fixing this one; Web browsers do that, for example.

I think when opened with url-dispatcher, we should be able to pop all the pages off the stack and start over.

  * When activated by a url request for a specific panel, clear the
    pageStack to maintain the natural navigation instead of pushing a
    new page on top of a page from a the previous panel (LP: #1362025)
