Breadcrumbs in PowerBI App Service Navigation

As of around July/August 2020, the breadcrumbs in the App of Power BI service started working differently. When clicking on the breadcrumb with the same name as the App, the user is directed to an administrative page that lists all objects included in the App. Previously clicking on this breadcrumb would direct the user to the App's designated Landing Page. How can a user easily go back to the App's Landing Page with one click?

@V-lianl-msft Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. When Updating the App, with the "New Navigation Builder" set to Off, the breadcrumb navigation that I explained above occurs. When setting the "New Navigation Builder" to On, then the predictable and desired App Landing Page will be accessed by clicking on the breadcrumb with the name of the App. This seems like a bug that the breadcrumb navigation would work differently, and certainly will confuse any users that had not set the "New Navigation Builder" to On.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce your issue.

Click the app's link

Try a different browser. By the way, I'm using chrome.
