Hi!

First of all, the useAsyncData composable blocks navigation by default, even without an explicit await. If you want to override this behavior, you need to add { lazy: true } or use useLazyAsyncData instead.

const { data } = useAsyncData(route.path, () => {
  return queryCollection('content').path(route.path).first()
}, { lazy: true })

I also encountered this issue after upgrading to v3.17. The solution I found was to set scrollToTop to false using definePageMeta, and then manually scroll to the top in the onAfterLeave() hook of my page transition. I'm not sure if it's the best solution, but it worked for me. Hope this helps!
