Howdy. I am attempting to implement jetpack navigation within my compose-only single activity app. Right now I have normal navigation working but I am attempting to work with back navigation and popBackStack on a screen with a text field. For some reason on back press, either via the nav bar back button or an onscreen back button calling popBackStack , the screen kind of just flashes and then the keyboard flashes, but it doesn’t go to the previous composable. If I spam the back button, it does eventually return to the previous screen. How do I get around this and have just 1 press of back button go to the previous screen without using navigate() ?

It's possible that you are navigating multiple times? I would put some sort of log statement in the places where you navigating both forward and back and see what navigations are triggered.

Good suggestion, I remember I had some logs already and saw that I was not resetting my navigation state when leaving the previous screen. So hitting back would in fact take me back to the previous screen, and then immediately navigate again

Ok I believe I have resolved this. I had a LaunchedEffect I was consuming my navigation state from, so I changed that to a DisposableEffect and reset the state inside onDispose
