"Back" Gesture and button in hamburger menu not functioning properly in Vanadium #1122

Description

@SirCanucklehead

Upon opening any page (say from a search engine result) the page displays and functions as expected. However, when swiping from the edge of the screen to go back to the previous page, nothing happens, no loading throbber or progress bar, etc. Alternatively, when opening the hamburger menu, the back arrow is not present and only a forward arrow appears, which is greyed out. The only way I've been able to navigate to a previous page is to open my history and find it from there.

Note: closing Vanadium, then going into settings and clearing Vanadiums cache seems to make it work for some time, although I can't be sure how long exactly (I've had to clear the cache multiple times within the last 24 hours).

This only started happening within the last week.

I am on a Pixel 9 Pro, on the Stable Graphene update channel with Security Preview Releases enabled (Build ver. 2026042101, Vanadium ver 148.0.7778.96.0)
