Summary

Resetting Suspense boundaries on navigation not work

Page

https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense

Details

I come up with an example as the documentation says:

However, now imagine you’re navigating between two different user profiles. In that case, it makes sense to show the fallback. For example, one user’s timeline is different content from another user’s timeline. By specifying a key, you ensure that React treats different users’ profiles as different components, and resets the Suspense boundaries during navigation. Suspense-integrated routers should do this automatically.

However, key do not work as expect, i.e. I did not see a loading indicator

Research direction

Start with the Suspense reference page and run the linked CodeSandbox reproduction in src/App.js. Compare the observed navigation behavior with the page’s statement about key resetting Suspense boundaries, then determine whether the example or the documentation needs correction. Done means the reported discrepancy is reproduced and the page or example accurately reflects the behavior.
