What happens when you close a form in the browser?

I haven't go an explanation right now but i promise i'll get one :)

Symptoms:

when you open a form (InfoPath Form in browser enabled) in the browser (in IPFS) and you have a close button or an action though rules, once you click on close one of two things will happen:

1)  You get the Form is Closed "The form has been closed"

Capture

2) Redirect you to the page that initiated the form opening

 

Explanation:

So when do you get what exactly?

Actually if you are in a view (infopath view) e.g.(view 1) and you have a close action (by the action "Close Form in a rule"), it will redirect you to the originator page.

And if you moved from a view to another and then closed the page, you will get the "The form has been closed message" e.g.(you are in view 1 and you click "Next" to view 2, then clicked "Close", you will get the message above)

 

Reasoning:

As I promised i'll try to get an explanation hopefully from the InfoPath Team :)
