Description
Description
When using react-navigation/drawer to navigate to a screen that has headerLargeTitleEnabled: true, the large title is misaligned with the left header button. When navigating without a drawer, it works fine.
This also seems to only affect iOS 26.x as it works fine with iOS 18.
Tested on real device as well as simulator.
import 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, Button, ScrollView } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createDrawerNavigator } from '@react-navigation/drawer';
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/native-stack';
import { GestureHandlerRootView } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import { SafeAreaProvider } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
const Drawer = createDrawerNavigator();
const HomeStack = createNativeStackNavigator();
const LargeStack = createNativeStackNavigator();
function ButtonScreen({ navigation }) {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Open the drawer to navigate to large title screen</Text>
</View>
);
}
function ScrollScreen() {
return (
<ScrollView contentContainerStyle={{ padding: 16 }} contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior='automatic'>
<Text style={{ fontSize: 22, marginBottom: 12 }}>Large Title (ScrollView)</Text>
{Array.from({ length: 30 }).map((_, i) => (
<Text key={i} style={{ marginBottom: 8 }}>
{`Entry ${i + 1} — Example content for scrolling.`}
</Text>
))}
</ScrollView>
);
}
function HomeStackScreen() {
return (
<HomeStack.Navigator>
<HomeStack.Screen
name="Button"
component={ButtonScreen}
options={({ navigation }) => ({
title: 'Button',
headerLeft: () => (
<Button title="Menu" onPress={() => navigation.getParent()?.openDrawer()} />

}
export default function App() {
return (

<SafeAreaProvider>
<NavigationContainer>

Research direction
Start with the linked gist and reproduce the issue on iOS 26.x, comparing navigation through the drawer with the working iOS 18 behavior. Trace the large-title screen and header-left button behavior in react-native-screens; done means the large title aligns with the left header button when reached through the drawer.
