Ui.getCurrent().navigate() does not change Browser URL

Description of the bug

Based on provided forum post https://vaadin.com/forum/t/ui-getcurrent-navigate-does-not-change-browser-url/167788/1.

Hi. After upgrading from 24.4.12 to 24.5.4 i have the problem, that the Browser URL does not change when UI.getCurrent().navigate() is called. The content and page title are set but the url stays the same.
Eg. i am currently on a view with route “/alldashboards”. There is a grid and on item click UI.getCurrent().navigate(“dashboard/” + item.getId()) is called. Navigation itself seems to work, since title and content are set, but the url stays “/alldashboards”.
Disabling the react router in the application properties did in fact solve the problem. We had the problem with any call of navigate(). Calling navigateToClient() instead worked fine, but since this needs a lot of code changes, we stick with disabling the react router.

To be investigated and reproduced.

Expected behavior

URL should change.

Minimal reproducible example

No.
A first try could be to run 24.4.12 app, upgrade to 24.5.4, then run it without any cleanup.
