[SailfishDevel] Cannot pop while operation is in progress : SOLVED

[Wim de Vries]

Thanks Mathew,
Your suggestion indeed works like this:
pageStack.replaceAbove(pageStack.previousPage(),
Qt.resolvedUrl("controls/MTextEdit.qml"))

I got the error because there was still a pop() somewhere in the current
page!
Silly, I had been fiddling to much.
Thanks again.

I now have a nice working app with mixed core QML and Sailfish UI and
controlled by c++!
