Component used: Navigation Version used: 2.8.0-alpha05 through 2.8.0-beta03 and 2.8.0-SNAPSHOT Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Android 15 VanillaIceCream(AP31.240426.023.B4)

Repro project attached as a zip, there is a video showcasing the bug. The repo is also public herehere too https://github.com/StylianosGakis/navigation-predictive-back-breaking-shared-element if you prefer to check it out this way.

This may or may not be related to https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/346608857 since this also happens after predictive back starts and is cancelled.

Steps to reproduce:

Run the sample project app
Navigate at least 1 times by pressing "Go to B"
Start a predictive back gesture, but do not complete it, cancel it instead and stay at destination "B"
Then try to navigate anywhere, with or without back gesture, and notice that the shared element is always not showing during a transition.

My assumption here is that the AnimatedVisibilityScope is somehow not cleaned up properly resulting in this broken behavior. But that is just my assumption, the repro project should help you understand the real issue behind all this.
