I'm using TabView's selection attribute in combination with @SceneStorage as shown in the portfolio app tutorial.

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {

  @SceneStorage("selectedView") var selectedView: String?

  var body: some View {
    TabView(selection: $selectedView) {
      KindredList()
        .tag(KindredList.tag)
        .tabItem {
          Image(systemName: "person.3")
          Text("Characters")
        }
      ReferenceView()
        .tag(ReferenceView.tag)
        .tabItem {
          Image(systemName: "books.vertical")
          Text("Reference")
        }
    }
  }

}

For some reason, if I switch over to the ReferenceView tab, my app just loves to stay on it. If I return to the home screen? Bam. ReferenceView. Tap the toolbar item I have in my KindredList? Bam. ReferenceView. The reference view will come up constantly until I've force-quit the app, and even then it sometimes comes back.

And before anyone asks: yes, KindredList.tag and ReferenceView.tag are, in fact, different.

Here is a short recording of the problem.

Try @SceneStorage("selectedView") var selectedView: String = KindredList.tag. I could recreate it with Optional but not without. I think the nil value is the problem.

That seems to have done it! Thanks.
