Empieza con el reproducer vinculado de list-select y compara el Text seleccionable fuera de FlatList con el elemento renderizado dentro de ella en Android. Rastrea los puntos de entrada de FlatList y Text para identificar por qué la selección puede depender de un hot reload; se considera terminado cuando el texto del elemento se puede seleccionar de forma fiable en el reproducer sin esa solución alternativa.
