Research direction

Reproduce the navigation sequence on Android 15 with Rocket.Chat Server 7.7.0 and App 4.60.0.79290, then trace the admin panel and submenu navigation entry points. Done means reopening the admin panel after viewing and closing a user consistently shows the admin panel rather than a blank or covering panel.
