In case it helps diagnosis, I noticed this isn't as quite as bad when you swipe to return to the room list rather than hit the top left arrow.
Tracked this down to the SwiftUI level as I can reliably reproduce it in a sample app.
You cannot see touches in the video but a lot of those interactions happen after tapping the button multiple times.

That being said, there's not much we can do at the moment. Let's see if anything changes in iOS 17
Can we close this as a system bug and raise something on apple.com/feedback instead? The behaviour in EX matches what I see in Mail, Messages, Notes, Reminders etc etc so this doesn't seem like something we can fix ourselves while using the native navigation stack.
