Provider listener body is not triggered when switching between two screens that listen to the same provider

Question

I have Flutter app with two screen: ScreenA and ScreenB. I am using RiverPod. I am listening to the same provider in both screens using ref.listen(). I run into a problem when navigating between both screens. Here is an example that cause problem.

• Initially the app starts at ScreenA.
• While in ScreenA, I update the provider. The listener in ScreenA is trigged as expected
• I navigate to ScreenB. To my surprise, the body of the provider listener in ScreenB is not called when I enter into ScreenB. That means that ScreenB will not know the state of the provider when navigating from ScreenA to ScreenB.
• If I navigate to ScreenB from ScreenC which does not listen to the the same provider, the body of the provider listener in ScreenB is triggered with no problems.

Is this a feature or a bug?
