Fast switching between tab bars causing creating new tab instead of restoring previous one

[mkowol-n]

Hi,
I found a bug related to navigation. I have an application with bottom nav bar. When i navigate between them using :
navigator.resetRoot(HomeNavTab2, saveState = true, restoreState = true)
everything works fine - the state of each tab is being restored. However, when I rapidly switch between the tabs (akin to "spamming"), the expected state restoration does not occur. Instead, a new screen is generated each time."

Can you link a sample we could reproduce this on? A test would be ideal but even just a sample app that we could manually try. Otherwise there's not much for us to go on here

@ZacSweers sure, here is the repo:

Is this possibly related to #1312? i.e. debouncing issues

Closing as fixed in 0.21.0

Hi @ZacSweers,

I believe issue #1285 is not fully resolved.
While PR #1331 addressed the goTo case, the resetRoot inconsistency still occurs.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Using the test repo at https://github.com/mkowol-n/SlackNavIssue
2. Testing with Circuit version 0.25.0
3. Rapidly switch between tabs (approximately 300ms intervals)

Observed behavior:

• Colors change unexpectedly during rapid tab switching
• Colors eventually restore to correct values when switching tabs at a slower pace

This suggests the resetRoot case may need separate handling.

Could you please verify this behavior and consider reopening the issue?

Hi,

resetRoot() navigation issues: state loss (v0.25.0) and crashes (v0.26.0) during rapid tab switching

(repost from #1930)

Testing has revealed two critical issues with resetRoot() across different Circuit versions:

Circuit v0.25.0:
rememberRetained state is lost during rapid tab switching (~300ms intervals)
Normal navigation retains state correctly
During rapid switching, state resets to initial values

Circuit v0.26.0:
App crashes during rapid tab switching when using resetRoot(saveState = true, restoreState = true)
Error stack trace indicates key registry collision: (though I can't the related circuit code line)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Clone test repo: https://github.com/diousk/SlackCircuitNavIssue

2. Modify Circuit version in build.gradle.kts:
   Test with v0.25.0 to observe state loss
   Test with v0.26.0 to observe crashes

3. Rapidly switch between tabs (~300ms intervals)
   Note: No instrumental test provided due to complexity of simulating rapid user interactions
   The issue is easily reproducible through manual quick tab switching

@diousk thanks for pasting the longer trace. The lack of circuit anywhere in that trace makes me skeptical that this is really a circuit issue vs something in compose's runtime. Sure, it may be getting tickled by circuit in some way, but even if we reproduced the above in a test (which I still think you should try to create), there's no indication we can fix the underlying compose runtime issue. Please file an issue on the compose issue tracker. If they investigate and find that it's actually a circuit issue I'm happy to revisit.
