Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to My Site > Site Pages > More menu (for a child page) > Set parent.
- Note the original parent page.
- Select a new parent page.
- Tap the search icon at top right.
- Search for and select the originally set parent page.
- Tap the back Botton at top left.
Result: the first Set Parent selected appears to still be selected and when you scroll down the second parent page appears to be selected too but if you scroll back up again you see that the first selection is no longer selected. (1m4s)
Tested with WPAndroid 14.3-rc-1 on Pixel 3 Android 10.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Set Parent flow in WordPress for Android, then trace the Pages List selection state through changing the parent, searching, selecting the original parent, and returning. Done means the previous parent is no longer visually selected and only the current parent appears selected after navigating back.
