Issues with routing back to segment[0]

[doloboyz]

Hello,
I wanted to see if I'm incorrectly using _layout or if there is an active issue in expo-router related to routing to the parent route from a child route.

Behavior:
Let's say I'm currently on the "/user/settings/account-settings" screen, and I click on the bottom nav bar to route back to the "/user" route. It seems that either nothing is happening when i click on the icon which should push("/user". However, if I route to another route, for which segment[0] !== "user", I am successfully able to successfully route away from "/user/settings/account-settings" and back to "/user".

So to reiterate:

Currently on "/user/settings/account-settings"
=> Click user icon button which should perform router.push("/user"), but fail to route back to segment[0]
=> Click notifications icon and successfully route to "/notifications"
=> Click user icon again and successfully route to "/user"

I've provided an example of what my project looks like below.

Folder Structure:

app
├── notifications
│   ├── index.tsx
│   └── _layout.tsx
└── user
    ├── settings
    │   └── account-settings
    │       ├── index.tsx
    │       └── _layout.tsx
    ├── index.tsx
    └── _layout.tsx

All layout files contain the following code:

import { Stack } from "expo-router";
import { BottomNavBar } from "../../../components/BottomNavBar";

export const SettingsLayout = () => {
	return (
		<>
			<Stack
				screenOptions={{
					headerShown: false,
					autoHideHomeIndicator: true,
					animation: "slide_from_left",
					animationDuration: 250,
				}}
			/>
			<BottomNavBar />
		</>
	);
};

export default SettingsLayout;

Dummy nav:

import {useRouter} from "expo-router";

export const BottomNavBar = () {
const router = useRouter()
<>
   <NotificationsIcon onPress={() => router.push("/notifications"} />
   <UserIcon onPress={() => router.push("/user"} />
</>
}

All screens also contain a Link which is used as follows:

<SafeAreaView>
   <Link href="/route" />
   {children}
</SafeAreaView>

Appreciate any time and consideration! Provided an example of what code looks like below.

Fixed by removing child layouts.
