Emulator's BACK button broken

[jC]

Hello,

The emulated hardware back button does not trigger anything nor works.

meaning

document.addEventListener("backbutton", function () {
   alert("back button clicked");
});

does not trigger, but works in app/appPreview

cheers

I think I'm seeing the same issue.  Let me investigate further and I'll report back here.

I've submitted a report on this.  In the meantime, as a workaround, you can fire the backbutton event from the events panel in the emulator (see attachement).

I'll report back here when we have a fix.
