Scroll issue in horizontal flatlist in android (react native version 0.73.5)

[nehab5889]

Description

I am facing an issue in the scroll of the horizontal flatlist on android devices and simulators. Even if there is a single item in the flatlist, the user is able to scroll and the image remains on the right side after scroll until the user taps on it.
I started facing this issue after updating react native from version 0.70 to 0.73.5.

The code that is have written is:
<FlatList
horizontal={true}
data={props.data}
showsHorizontalScrollIndicator={false}
showsVerticalScrollIndicator={false}
keyExtractor={(item, index) => index.toString()}
renderItem={({ item, index }) => renderImageList(item, index)}
/>

Please refer to the below recording to understand my issue better.

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Steps to reproduce

<FlatList
horizontal={true}
data={props.data}
showsHorizontalScrollIndicator={false}
showsVerticalScrollIndicator={false}
keyExtractor={(item, index) => index.toString()}
renderItem={({ item, index }) => renderImageList(item, index)}
/>

I've encountered a similar problem with the horizontal ScrollView. While I haven't experienced it on my Android 11 device, on later Android versions it seems to happen.

Hey i just ran into this issue my self on version 0.73.4, i gave the contentContainerStyle of the flat list a min width of "100%" and it seems to get the job done.

@jo7475 It seems to work. Thank you!!

I think this is the same issue as #41492 and #36617. I've been able to reproduce it in an Android emulator, but not in a Snack unfortunately.

@jo7475 Hey Jo, thanks for the suggestion. However this does seem to disable the scroll entirely and if the items' size change dynamically, the user will not be able to scroll through the horizontal list.
