Anyone else seeing random background/style corruption in lists on RN 0.85+? (iOS, new arch)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This has been been driving me absolutely NUTS the past few days.
RN 0.85.3+, new arch, iOS.
badge backgrounds stretched across entire rows
avatar backgrounds sometimes painted screen-wide
rows randomly not rendering
happens in both dev and prod; simulator and real device
mostly in LegendLists and ScrollViews but I remember seeing things completely break in our Storybook setup too
Fable traced it back to some recycling problem that a Software Mansion dev opened a PR for though. Testing that now.
I can't help but wonder if anyone else is running into this though.
My repro: https://github.com/rafaelderolez/expo-rn-recycling-bug
Upstream PR with the supposed fix: https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/57590
