[daveshirman]

Short description of the problem:

The hardware button in Android is not dismissing modal windows since RC 1

This case needs reopening: #7572

What behavior are you expecting?

Modals to be dismissed.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an app which then opens a modal window on the stack.
2. Open the modal.
3. Press hardware back button and notice that the window is still there (note the app will exit if there was no other prior navigation from the root page).
