Current behavior:
After pushing a page to rootNav it's not possible to swipe back (Back button works though).

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

import { App } from 'ionic-angular';

@Component({
	selector: 'mini-player',
	templateUrl: 'mini-player.html'
})
export class MiniPlayerComponent {

	public constructor(protected _app: App) { }

	public gotoPlayer(): void {
		this._app.getRootNav().push(PlayerPage);
	}

}

Expected behavior:
You should be able to swipe back. I'm pretty sure this used to be the case.
