Description
Description
It's really similar to this issue: #27232.
The Tap gestures were fixed in React Native 0.66, however, the same problem persists with all the other types of gestures, especially dragging/scrolling, which is quite annoying because the flat list cannot be scrolled at all.
This happens only on Android.
Works perfectly fine on IOS and Web.

Research direction
Start with the linked Snack reproduction and the Android behavior described around an absolutely positioned component containing a FlatList. Reproduce the failed drag or scroll gesture on Android, compare it with iOS and Web, and trace the relevant React Native gesture and view handling. Done means the FlatList responds to dragging when positioned outside its parent bounds.
