PanResponder onMoveShouldSetPanResponder delta not reset

Description

Delta is not reset between gestures when it returned false

PanResponder.create({
      onMoveShouldSetPanResponder(e, gesture) {
         const {dx, dy} = gesture
         return false
      },
})

That seems to be because none of the other callbacks are called and the inner state initial position isn't reset.

I'm currently fixing this with

function PanProvider({children}) {

 const capturedPositionRef = useRef(null);


   return <View onMoveShouldSetResponderCapture={({nativeEvent:{pageX, pageY}}) => {
     // don't do anything, just capture the initial position
     capturedPositionRef.current = {pageX, pageY}
      return false
  }}>
       <PanContext.Provider value={capturedPositionRef}>{children}</PanContext.Provider>
    </View>
}

export default function usePanResponderLock(direction: 'horizontal' | 'vertical') {
  // uses the provider initial position
  const captureGestureRef = usePanResponder();

  return useRef(
    PanResponder.create({
      onMoveShouldSetPanResponder({ nativeEvent: { pageX, pageY } }) {
        if (captureGestureRef.current) {
          const { pageX: startX, pageY: startY } = captureGestureRef.current;

          const dx = Math.abs(pageX - startX);
          const dy = Math.abs(pageY - startY);

          const dragging = dx > 2 || dy > 2;

          if (!dragging) return false;

          return direction === 'horizontal' ? dx > dy : dy > dx;
        }

        return false;
      },
      onPanResponderTerminationRequest() {
        return true;
      },
    }),
  ).current;
}

This is working well, but the delta should be fixed in RN

Steps to reproduce

Try looking for a horizontal gesture with dx > dy:

• from the top left corner, make a vertical gesture => delta's are correct, view is not a responder.
• make a new horizontal gesture from bottom left corner => delta y is the distance with the previous touch and delta x too => dy > dx even though it's a horizontal gesture

Begin with the linked Snack reproducer and the PanResponder.create/onMoveShouldSetPanResponder path; trace how gesture deltas are initialized and retained when the callback returns false, focusing on Android. Done means a new gesture reports deltas from its own start even when the prior gesture never became a responder, with the reproducer behavior corrected.
