Description

Current behavior

The onStartReached callback isn't always called when the start of the list is reached. I have attached a project that reproduces a case where it's not called. Here onStartReached should trigger the loading of more data.

Expected behavior

onStartReached should be called when the start of the list is reached.

To Reproduce

Use this project: FlashlistTestProject.zip

  • Run on Android (npm install && npm run android)
  • Select "Start at top"
  • Scroll downwards until you reach the bottom
  • Observe that the last item starts with "6 72 ..." and no more items load after that.

Platform:

  • iOS (not tested)
  • Android

Environment

FlashList 2.0 RC
React Native 0.80.1

Research direction

Start from the onStartReached callback entry point and reproduce the Android case using the attached FlashlistTestProject.zip. Run npm install && npm run android, select "Start at top," and scroll to the bottom; done means the callback fires and more items load instead of stopping at the item beginning "6 72 ...".
