We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsp

I think this is actually related to Wave8: Ideal Nav

[luacmartins]

I'm on the fence of this being a blocker, it doesn't really break any functionality, it's just slightly unexpected. I'll leave the decision to @tylerkaraszewski though

[tylerkaraszewski]

I don't think it needs to be a blocker. It seems it can probably be external as well, does any one object to that?

Proposal

Problem Statement

The back button, within the theme modal, fails to navigate back to the previous Stack from the theme modal.

Root Cause

The current implementation lacks the necessary deep linking to return to the /settings/preferences previous stack.

Proposed Solution

To solve this issue, we can update the back handler in ThemePage.js:

App/src/pages/settings/Preferences/ThemePage.js

Line 43 in 3ab4e6e

onBackButtonPress={() => Navigation.goBack()}

By specifying the required deep link, such as:
onBackButtonPress={() => Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.SETTINGS_PREFERENCES)}

Alternatives

It was also observed that the following screens: Priority Mode, Language, and Theme, within the /settings/preferences stack, would all benefit from a similar deep link implementation.
