I am seeing an issue where when I click on the new menu item in the media library, the view doesn't appear to actually display. It just displays the previous section tha twas being viewed. I have poked around with the code for a while, but being new to backbone.js I am not certain what I am missing. Have you seen this issue with your example by chance?

Hi , I am seeing an issue in media libray, the previous clicked link show in custom tab and also image insert not go to show list.
