Description
Description
When performing a FlatList pull-to-refresh shortly after a regular scroll up, the contents of the list sometimes become completely unresponsive to taps. When that happens, a slight scroll down immediately fixes the issue,
Steps to reproduce
- Scroll to the top of the list
- Scroll down slightly so there's room for the next maneuver
- Do a gentle scroll up, and while the scroll still has momentum and you are near the top of the list, do another scroll up to engage the pull-to-refresh (you don't need to actually trigger a refresh but the bug remains even if you do)
- After you release the gesture, the buttons in the list are unresponsive to taps until you perform a scroll down again
