Closing the tab changes the ui-router state to default state - 0.12.0

My application is broken after i upgrade to 0.12.0 from 0.11.0. The issue is, If i close the tab, the state(ui-router) changes to the default state. It is hard to explain the problem, so i created the simple plunker @

If you close any of the tab in the settings page then you are taken to the home page. I expect to stay on the settings page with the first tab being selected after closing the tab.

If you comment the 0.12.0 version in the plunker and un comment 0.11.0 version, then the application works as expected.

I think the issue is to do with the fix for the following bug -

#2763 (or)
/issues/2290.

There is no error message printed on the console so it is hard to identify the issue.

I was able to fix this behavior with $event.preventDefault() here.

@wesleycho So should this be closed as a resolved via support?

I would like more info first before closing.

Great. The solution works. Thanks a lot. But i feel this is bit of hack rather than a fix. Anyway thanks.

This is a bug with Angular 1.3.5 .
Plunker is working after upgrading to 1.3.13 :

Yes, it is working after angular upgrade. You are a star.

I am working with AngularJS 1.4.2 and UI-BootStrap 0.13.3 and issue is coming again. With the above solution of $event.preventDefault(), issue goes away. But is it a recommended solution?
