Current behavior: When i push() some page from side-menu and the actual page is one that have menu-tabs, the ionViewWillLeave & ionViewDidLeave events are not fired

Expected behavior: if i push a page the events must be fired

Steps to reproduce:

• Setup a project like described here - > (https://devdactic.com/ionic-side-menu-tabs/)
• Set the root page the one that have menu-tabs
• Navigate from side-menu to another page PUSHING the page (on setRoot its works)

In side menu define your nav controller variable like this:

export class Menu {
...
  @ViewChild("content") childNavCtrl: NavController;
...
constructor(...){
}

  openPage(pageName) {
    this.childNavCtrl.push('pageName');
  }
