New description:

 If a panel or section has an `active_callback` set, and if the panel or
 section is expanded, when a user navigates from previewing a URL where the
 `active_callback` returns true to one where it returns `false`, these the
 non-contextual panel or section remain expanded unexpectedly. If you
 collapse the panel or section to go to the root you then see that the
 references to the panel/section are hidden.

 I believe this is a regression introduced in #34391, as I'm sure that the
 panels would collapse automatically when de-activated in the past.
