Double state change after $state.go in $stateChangeStart

[gligoran]

Here's the plunker. Click on the profile link and note the extra state change in the list:

stateChanges = [
  " -> home",
  "home -> profile",
  "home -> signIn",
  "signIn -> signIn"
]

The problem is that last "signIn -> signIn", which, in my opinion, should not have happened.

I've done some debugging and it seems it's ui-router's reaction to $locationChangeSuccess via the afterLocationChange function.

I also don't understand why the parameter returnTo is double-encoded: /profile -> %2Fprofile -> %252Fprofile.

Tried playing around with previous versions and found out this only happens in 0.2.15. After looking at the change log, it seems that this commit is to blame: 48aeaff. If I remove the code commented by that commit, the double transition goes away.

It seems this is connected to #1573.

Is this fixed in a higher version?

Yeah seems fixed in the latest versions. Also, why not use returnTo: toState.name?
