Answer 1

So as I wrote in the comment, I had the same issue and it looks it's a bug in ionic v1.0.1. Somewhere here in the thread in the link below, it is suggested that the problem manifests itself when using ionic's "menu-close" attribute:

https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/issues/4038

After changing the "menu-close" to "menu-toggle" the problem disappeared and for me this is good enough. I guess a fix will be committed shortly.

Hope it helps!
