Bug description

Using NC 28.0.3, when I click on the contact icon (top-right), newly created users in the group aren't automatically displayed in the list. On the other hand, users that have been created before NC 28.0.3 are always well displayed in the list.

By typing the user in "Search contacts ...", newly created users are well displayed. Also if I click on "Show all contacts", all users in the group are well displayed.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Using NC 28.0.3, create a new group and new users on the "Users" admin page
  2. Login to one User account in the group
  3. Click on the contact icon (top-right)
  4. See that the newly created users in the group are not automatically displayed in the list
Expected behavior

When I click on the contact icon (top-right), new users in the group should be automatically displayed in the list.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the contact icon in Nextcloud Server 28.0.3 with Contacts app 5.5.3, then compare the initial list with Search contacts and Show all contacts. Trace the contact-menu entry point and verify that newly created group users appear immediately in the initial list, while existing behavior remains intact.
