Description

I ran into this problem while running mobile spec tests on Android. If I click the Events->Intercept Backbutton link twice then clicking the HW back button results in two console logs saying the back button was intercepted. This is okay. Clicking Events->Stop intercept of back button then clicking the HW back button results in one console log saying the back button was intercepted. This is still good.

Clicking Events->Stop intercept of back button then clicking the HW back button results in one console log saying the back button was intercepted. This is where things break down. I can click the remove event listener button as many times as I want but it will never be removed.
