URL:

https://nodejs.org/en/blog

Browser Name:

Chrome

Browser Version:

114.0.5735.198

Operating System:

MacOS

How to reproduce the issue:

1. Open https://nodejs.org/en/blog
2. Click on 'Downloads' in the top nav bar
3. The URL updates but the page content does not - I would expect to see the content for Downloads

it looks like you can reproduce the behavior in the opposite direction too

When I debug issues, I usually stream of conscious them, so this might be way off base, but I hope it jumps starts some thoughts.

initial triage, reading up on the next console log A soft navigation has been detected: https://nodejs.org/en/blog led me to vercel/next.js#42991

Also not certain how relevant this is because we only use the app directory for feeds from what I can tell

Here's the soft-navigation docs: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/linking-and-navigating#conditions-for-soft-navigation

I wonder if it was broken prior to this hotfix yesterday #5474 introduced to alleviate pressure on the site.

This seems to be a regression caused by #5464 (which was not properly tested or rather seemed working fine) and it's fixed by #5479
