Tested on a new bare react-native version 0.79.7
"react-native": "0.79.7"
"@d11/react-native-fast-image": "^8.13.0"
Tried both newArch disabled and enabled.
issue only fixed if I unset DISABLE_SVG

Update:
Tested on react-native 0.80.3 and this issue does not seem to occur. Maybe its only on <= 0.79.7
Steps to reproduce
