Navigation breaks after login when visiting a collection link

[SensoryDavide]

Describe the Bug

I found an odd issue with the navigation while trying to customise it. This also happens with a clean installation and the default navigation component.

Slightly related, but not part of this bug: I also noticed the navigation constantly re-rendering when navigating between pages which makes it flicker often and is overall annoying to deal with when customising.

Reproduction Steps

• Open a direct link to a collection in an icognito tab - simulating a first visit when not logged in (For example: /admin/collections/mycollection?limit=10)
• You'll see the login form
• After logging in, on the first load, the redirect logic seems to not work as intended as the navigation is broken, only showing one item. This does not happen when I visit /admin in an icognito tab

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Can you share the repo behind that host please? Couldn't log in and it would be helpful to see the exact config

@paulpopus That's the URL for your Payload 3 Demo at https://github.com/payloadcms/payload-3.0-demo - It's really just as an example, as you can do this on any install. I just tried this on a 100% fresh install via npx create-payload-app@beta -t blank without any config changes. I think some of the redirect logic after login is broken. If I open http://localhost:3001/admin/collections/users?limit=10 in an incognito tab, I don't get redirected to that link after logging in and the navigation only shows the Media collection.
