I think this could be non-blocking but going to leave this in the list as I would consider it as a medium importance

FYI most likely related to https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01GTK53T8Q/p1739435484596829?thread_ts=1739328522.587109&cid=C01GTK53T8Q and we are discussing and working on solutions for this

Hey, I'll take a look at it :)

[WojtekBoman]

The new navigation structure introduced the following change:

Now when we change tab within the app we always push a sidebar screen to the navigation stack (remember that it's not related to the SearchPage as
the sidebar is not a separate page there), so instead of going back to the screen from the previous tab, we return to the Inbox page (the sidebar of this tab).

On small screens tab switching is not visible when we navigate to the screen from the different tab that doesn't show the bottom bar but it's performed.

Here's the video showing this flow on the wide layout, and what's happening when we are resizing it. The same flow is done on the narrow layout, so the Inbox page is also pushed to the navigation stack after redirecting to transaction thread from the Search. This should explain why we navigate to the Inbox page in this case.

@WojtekBoman seems like not a blocker and maybe not a bug either, going to close this one for now
