Whenever I open Settings by searching for a setting in Gnome's search bar and then clicking on Settings, the back button will take me back to the Settings I looked for, not the main settings menu, making other settings impossible to open.

Bug Description

When I searched in Gnome for settings related to printing, I had a result that said "Settings - About", and so I clicked on it expecting to be able to go to Settings' main menu. However, the back button only took me to the submenu and then BACK to the About page, which makes going to the main menu impossible.

One can reproduce this issue by searching for a setting in Gnome, clicking on it, and then clicking the back button only to be in a loop.
