Incorrect Back Behaviour in grouped routes with layout #38236
Description
Minimal reproducible example
https://github.com/dheerajneelam-sigfyn/expo-router-test-issue
Steps to reproduce
Incorrect.back.behaviour.with.layouts.mov
I have file structure like the one shown in Github repo. When I navigate like this:
(app,admin)/index.tsx -> (app,admin)/onboarding/route1.tsx -> (app,admin)/onboarding/networth/route2.tsx -> (app,admin)/360/asset/route3.tsx
And then click on back, I expect to go to (app,admin)/onboarding/networth/route2.tsx, but instead I go to (app,admin)/onboarding.
I used Slot component all around. I did not explicitly do any Stack or Tabs or Drawer. I expect the back button to work and the route history/state to be maintained.
