Modal close animation not working

[crisbeto]

The modal and the modal backdrop don't trigger css transitions when they're being closed. They both have ng-class="{in:animate}", however the element just gets removed when $modalInstance.close() gets called. There's no such problem when the modal is being opened.

It can be seen in the official demo: http://plnkr.co/7FM01InF2tEi2Imgb07W

After a little bit of digging around I found this plunk: http://plnkr.co/edit/nZT58YNKT84UlSwTvfpc?p=preview

It uses Angular UI Bootstrap 0.5.0 (which doesn't have $modal, but does have $dialog) and both the open and close animations work (the "in" class gets removed on exit and when the animation finishes, the element gets removed from the DOM).

@crisbeto $modal is a rewrite of $dialog which had multiple design and implementation issues. There is no turning back, $modal needs to be fixed so support closing animations.
