Next13 Shallow routing breaks when using any middleware #44982

I have noticed that shallow routing breaks whenever using any middleware on Next.js13 and hard reloads the page if any middleware is processed even if the middleware is simple and does nothing like

`
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server';

export function middleware(request: NextRequest){
const response = NextResponse.next({
request: request,
})
return response;
}`

This is for every route if I used
export const config = { matcher: '/:path*', };

However if I change the matcher to
export const config = { matcher: '/((?!_next)*)', };
omitting every _next path then it does shallow routing properly for every route except the root path / which is hard reloads every time, even if the user is already on /
