Slack Mobile Loses Channel Context and Accumulates Uncleared Navigation History

The Slack mobile app fails to restore the last viewed channel after the user navigates away and returns. Compounding this, each navigation action adds to an infinite back-stack, making the back button useless until the app is force-killed. These mobile navigation bugs degrade the reliability of Slack as a communication tool on phones.
