Description

Describe your idea

When you navigate away from the main tab bar it leaves a slim view at the bottom making the app not completely edge to edge, this happens only on android, can be removed using layout insets but then the navbar will have too little bottom padding which we cant add back to correct for the -inset

Research direction

Reproduce the Android case by navigating away from the main tab bar, then trace the tab bar and layout-inset handling involved in the transition. Done means the tab bar leaves no slim view at the bottom while the navigation bar retains correct bottom padding.
