Shell Navigation will not re-route to the same route even if querystring is different

[edgiardina]

Description

If shell is on a certain subpage route in a project with a tabbar, and I want to navigate to the same route, but with different querystring values, the navigation will not happen because Shell thinks we are already on that route. Example:

I am on route //mainpage/subpage?pageId=1

in that page, I request navigation to //mainpage/subpage?pageId=2

The new page is not loaded, no navigation changes, etc.

I think this is a fundamental shell bug and not a bug in the individual implementations per platform

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a new MAUI project
• Create a navigation structure with a tabbar, mainpage and subpage/detailpage
• navigate to a detail page where the route is like //route1/route2?queryvalue=n
• try to navigate from that route to the same route with a new queryvalue
• The navigation won't take place
