POPopping viewcontroller and then back to RootViewController doesn't seem to work
text
Body
copied!<p>I have an app that pushes four viewcontrollers on the stack. In the fourth view controller, I do a PopViewController, so I should be back at the 3rd viewcontroller, and in the viewWillAppear method, I do a PopToRootViewController. This does not get me back to the first viewcontroller correctly. The code is straightforward, just a </p> <pre><code>[self.navigationController pushViewController:nextController animated:YES] </code></pre> <p>in each of the first 3 viewcontrollers, and in the fourth</p> <pre><code>[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES]. </code></pre> <p>In the 3rd viewcontroller, I have a viewWillAppear method which does:</p> <pre><code>[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES]. </code></pre> <hr> <p>As I go through the views, I get the following:</p> <p>Start app: </p> <pre><code> Back: Title: FirstLevel </code></pre> <p>Press OK: </p> <pre><code> Back: FirstLevel Title: SecondLevel </code></pre> <p>Press OK: </p> <pre><code> Back: SecondLevel Title: ThirdLevel </code></pre> <p>Press OK:</p> <pre><code> Back: ThirdLevel Title: FourthLevel </code></pre> <p>Press OK: which pops back 1 and then pops back to root:</p> <pre><code> Back: FirstLevel Title: ThirdLevel </code></pre> <p>If I press OK now:</p> <pre><code> Back: ThirdLevel Title: SecondLevel </code></pre> <p>I'm sorry if this is confusing. Should I be able to pop back one view controller and then immediately pop back to the root?</p> <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
