Appium seems to follow context sometimes iOS 12.2 but didn't on iOS 12.1

See original GitHub issue

The problem

Since trying to switch to iOS 12.2 I have noticed inconsistent behaviour between that and version 12.1 (and earlier) with regards to the way the context changes.

With iOS 12.1 and earlier I was expected to manually switch context to the new webview when the application navigated to the MS ADAL login screen and manually switch context back to the webview for the application.

With iOS 12.2 it appears to switch context automatically to the new webview when the application navigated to the MS ADAL login screen but does not switch context back to the application webview after successful login.

Environment

Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.13.0
Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable):
Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: OSX 10.14.5
Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v10.13.0
Npm or Yarn package manager: 6.9.0
Mobile platform/version under test: iPad Pro 10.5
Real device or emulator/simulator: simulator
Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

Details

I have reproduced this using postman so it does not appear to be a fault in the test framework.

I have a manual work around in my test framework which switches back to the parent webview (the application) for this scenario.

I can monitor the available contexts and the current context using postman commands.
