Describe the bug / error

When you navigate from a modern site's home page to a document library using the OOTB left hand navigation, something does not fully load on the document library page as any custom listview extensions do not work. If you refresh the library page, then the actions work as expected.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new SPFX extension project using the 1.14 yeoman generator, using all default values for HelloWorld listviewcommandset
2. Update elements.xml to target libraries with RegistrationId=101
3. Deploy to SharePoint Online and add to a modern site
4. Create a document library, add a couple documents, make sure it shows in navigation
5. Go to home page of site, click on the link to open the document library
6. Try to click on the 'command 2' action - does not open alert box as expected
7. Select one or more documents, click on the 'command 1' action - does not open alert box as expected
8. Refresh page - click on the 'command 2' action - it now opens the alert box that says 'this command is always visible'

i've attached my skeleton project that was deployed to our sponline environment.
spfx-14-test.zip

Expected behavior

The command set buttons should work whether you navigate from home page or land directly on a document library page.

Hi @teresahoes - thanks for reporting this issue.
I have tested your sample on multiple tenants, with default and newly created document libraries.
And seems like everything is working fine.
Could you please double-check if the issue is still repro on your side?
Also, could you try reproducing it on another site collection?

Thanks!

Hi @AJIXuMuK -- thank you for looking into this. Yes I can reproduce on many of our site collections. I wonder if it has to do with the template they are using? I did try deploying to a Teams based site and it works correctly.

All of the site collections where it doesn't work have been around for some time and have been converted over to use modern lists and libraries. they are based on this template per the page source.

"WebTitleCurrentLCID":0,"webTemplate":"1","webTemplateConfiguration":"STS#0"

are you able to test that scenario?

@teresahoes - are you still using classic pages on these sites (not lists and libraries, but Home page, etc.)?
Do you have publishing feature enabled?
