I’m not 100% on that, though

pretty easy to see if that part works by just using a regular

navigate()

call then going back to that first screen. If that works, then there's something wrong with your bottom nav code

So I need to figure out what changed to cause it to behave different

Alright so i managed to narrow it down for whatever reason having this item at the top of my lazy column is causing it

item {
                LazyRow(
                    modifier = Modifier.fillParentMaxWidth(),
                    verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically
                ) {
                    item {
                        var selected by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }

                        FilterChip(
                            selected = selected,
                            leadingIcon = {
                                Icon(
                                    imageVector = Icons.Default.Explore,
                                    contentDescription = stringResource(R.string.explore)
                                )
                            },
                            selectedIcon = {
                                Icon(
                                    imageVector = Icons.Default.Explore,
                                    contentDescription = stringResource(R.string.explore)
                                )
                            },
                            label = { Text(stringResource(R.string.explore)) },
                            onClick = { selected = !selected }
                        )
                    }
                }
            }

But yes, if you aren't actually caching your other source of items (i.e., by using stateIn() in a ViewModel to store the last value so that your data is instantly available when you return to that destination rather than asynchronously loading the items each time you go to that destination) then the first recomposition will only have one element in the list when it tries to restore the scroll position, hence you can't scroll down to the Nth element

class HomeViewModel(
    private val repository: InnerTubeRepository
) : ViewModel() {
    val videos = Pager(PagingConfig(10)) {
        object : PagingSource<String, DomainVideoPartial>() {
            override suspend fun load(params: LoadParams<String>): LoadResult<String, DomainVideoPartial> {
                return try {
                    val trendingVideosResponse = repository.getTrendingVideos(params.key)

                    LoadResult.Page(
                        data = trendingVideosResponse.videos,
                        prevKey = null,
                        nextKey = trendingVideosResponse.continuation
                    )
                } catch (e: Exception) {
                    e.printStackTrace()
                    LoadResult.Error(e)
                }
            }

            override fun getRefreshKey(state: PagingState<String, DomainVideoPartial>): String? = null
        }
    }.flow.cachedIn(viewModelScope)
}

This is what the viewmodel is right now
