Description
Description
If we navigate to a new screen while a list component is currently scrolling and come back to this screen, the touch does not work on the previously scrolling list. Once i manually scroll the list again and scroll ends only after that touch starts to work on the children of the FlatList or ScrollView
The List component can be either ScrollView or FlatList.

Steps to reproduce
Step 1: Create a ScrollView or Flatlist with navigation to a new Page on item click.
Step 2: Initiate a flick gesture on the list, to introduce a scroll from the 0th to the Nth position.
Step 3: While the list is scrolling, click on any other clickable component such as the search bar or any other clickable widget which has navigation attached to it.
Step 4: You will be navigated to a new screen. Now navigate to the previous screen.
Step 5: Click on any child component of the previously scrolling list.
Step 6: Nothing will happen until you manually scroll the list and it reaches an idle scroll position
