Editing menus user-experience has regressed

Problem/Motivation

Starting in Drupal 8.5, menu editing regressed: if you add a menu link from the "add link" form, you are redirected back to the menu list, rather than the currently-selected menu. It is very jarring. This is a regression from previous 8.4.x behaviour that was introduced by #2767857: Add destination to edit, delete, enable, disable links in entity list builders .

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Install standard and login
  2. Go to admin/structure/menu
  3. Click on any edit menu
  4. Click on add link
  5. Fill out the add link form and press save

A user would expect to return to the menu with its list of links. Actually, you return to the list of menus.

#2957953-43: Editing menus user-experience has regressed provides additional detail on the use-cases where this destination parameter is applied.

Proposed resolution

Remove the destination as we did in #2940165: [regression] Cannot add effects to image style via the UI .
