Relationship/Upload causing page refresh

Dealing with this issue locally running

on Payload v1.8.2.

Expected: Based on the Payload Demo when on a "page" I click "Upload new media" on an upload field it should open an upload modal and let me add one, then I can close the modal with the media relationship set. No page transition.

What happens: When I open the media modal it refreshes the page and changes the route to the media collection. Clicking "back" in the browser it takes me to my "page" collections listings.

import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types';

const Media: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'media',
  versions: {
    drafts: {
      autosave: true,
    }
  },
  admin: {
    useAsTitle: 'filename',
    group: 'Content',
  },
  upload: {
    staticURL: '/media',
    staticDir: 'assets',
    imageSizes: [
      {
        name: 'thumbnail',
        width: 400,
        height: 300,
        position: 'center',
      },
    ],
    adminThumbnail: 'thumbnail',
    mimeTypes: ['image/*'],
  },
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'alt',
      type: 'text',
    },
  ],
};

export default Media;
