Description

### Describe the bug

If network manager selection is a single network and a transaction is sent on a custom network (or Sepolia test network), then the balance on the custom network disappears.
Closing and re-opening MetaMask solves the issue.

### Expected behavior

No balance disappear

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a custom network or Sepolia, a single BNB network selection, and a transaction as described in the issue. Trace the balance state when switching back to the sending network; done means the balance remains visible without closing and reopening MetaMask.
