[Bug]: Main section disappears when navigating to addon tab

[rbardini]

Describe the bug

While upgrading from Storybook 7.0 to 7.6, I noticed that the main section gets hidden when navigating to an addon tab. (Playroom in this case)

Manually removing the hidden attribute from the wrapping <div> in browser devtools fixes the issue, i.e. the addon matches the route and renders correctly, but Storybook hides it.

Interestingly, it doesn't seem to affect docs pages. Possibly related to #23292.

To Reproduce

Open the following deploy preview from rbardini/storybook-addon-playroom#54, navigate to stories and click the Playroom tab:

I've also reproduced it in storybookjs/addon-kit after bumping Storybook dependencies to their latest versions:

git clone [email protected]:storybookjs/addon-kit.git && cd addon-kit
npx storybook@latest upgrade
npm start
