Screens with useLinkProps (using object) only work once within nested navigator (stack within bottom-tabs)

[4lun]

Current behavior

I have a Stack.Navigator (native-stack but also tried using just stack) nested inside a Tab.Navigator.

Links actions (onPress), generated using useLinkProps (using object), only seems to work once.

This is in circumstances when you return to the previous screen with no re-render invoked (e.g. tab bar button or via back gesture)

Using a string path however, it works consistently

Example, this works repeatedly

const linkProps = useLinkProps({ to: '/b' });

This only works once

const linkProps = useLinkProps({
  to: {
    screen: 'StackNavigator',
    params: { screen: 'ScreenB' }
  }
});

Reproduction steps in repo snack:

1. Use first button to navigate to Screen B (via screen props)
2. Return to Screen A either via button in tab bar (or back gesture)
3. Use same button to try to get to Screen B again, observe no navigation occurs

I see a workaround where I switch exclusively to passing paths around, but this current behaviour seems like it might be a bug

Expected behavior

Expect navigation to occur when returning to previous screen and triggering the same action again
