Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Account icon on bottom tab is briefly highlighted when returning from create workspace page

What is the root cause of that problem?

• Regression from this PR, we forgot to change the selectedTab to NAVIGATION_TABS.WORKSPACES.

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspacesListPage.tsx

Line 501 in 07ba343

bottomContent={shouldUseNarrowLayout && <NavigationTabBar selectedTab={NAVIGATION_TABS.SETTINGS} />}

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

• Update selectedTab to NAVIGATION_TABS.WORKSPACES

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

N/A
