Describe the issue you are experiencing

Sometimes the back button from a subview requires several clicks to respond to the command and return the UI to the view from which the subview was entered. See a more elaborate discussion of the issue in my forum post #532892.

Describe the behavior you expected

Returning immediately to the previous view when clicking the back button.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Using the minimal dashboard example below, with the numerical sensor at the end replaced by any suitable numerical sensor that provides a History graph in a popup when clicked

1. Enter the subview by clicking the button
2. Klick on the value to bring up the History graph in the info panel pop-up
3. Close the pop-up window

Now (at least on my system), the subview back button (in the upper left corner) becomes unresponsive for 3 clicks and returns to the main view (with the single button) on the fourth click.

views:
  - path: view
    title: View

      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true
        type: button
        tap_action:

          navigation_path: /dashboard-subview/subview

Additional information

The issue does not seem to appear if the numerical sensor is replaced by a sensor with discrete states ('on', 'off', etc) in the colored history bar. In the minimal example given it needs to be a sensor with a history graph.

Are you using popups? Every time you open a pop-up while in a subview it requires an extra click on the back button to go back. I think the popup gets added to your "history" so pressing the back button brings you back to the "previous page", but that is actually still the same page (the page that launched the popup). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a fix for this. If you want to show a further submenu from a subview, I suggest navigating to a different subview.

Edit: After some further searching I did find the following. If you want your subview back button to always send you back to the same dashboard you can set the "back_path" variable. Then if you press the back button it will always navigate you to the provided path.
