Can't scroll RNGH exported ScrollView on Android

[tpcstld]

Description

This might be a re-regression of #2472 not totally sure.

On an Android device with TalkBack enabled, the ScrollView exported from react-native-gesture-handler cannot be scrolled with the two-finger scroll gesture. The similar export from react-native does not have this problem.

There may be a second-layer related issue where the scrolling does work, but then after two-finger scrolling, the tap gesture (e.g. on a Pressable) stops working. I can't repro this personally but I thought I might mention it.

Steps to reproduce

Here is some sample code that can repro the issue:

import React from "react";
import {
  ScrollView as ScrollViewRN,
  Pressable,
  StyleSheet,
} from "react-native";
import {
  GestureHandlerRootView,
  ScrollView,
} from "react-native-gesture-handler";

export default function RootLayout() {
  const ScrollViewComponent = false ? ScrollView : ScrollViewRN;
  return (
    <GestureHandlerRootView
      style={[StyleSheet.absoluteFill, { backgroundColor: "red" }]}
    >
      <ScrollViewComponent>
        {[
          1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
          21, 22, 23, 24,
        ].map((item) => (
          <Pressable
            key={item}
            style={{
              height: 100,
              backgroundColor: `#${Math.floor(
                Math.random() * 16777215
              ).toString(16)}`,
            }}
            onPress={() => {
              console.log("pressed");
            }}
          />
        ))}
      </ScrollViewComponent>
    </GestureHandlerRootView>
  );
}

1. Build the app on a physical phone
2. Enable TalkBack
3. Try scrolling with two fingers up and down.

As shown in the following video, the scrolling only works if we're using the react-native component, and not the react-native-gesture-handler component.

Confirm.

This is an issue for me on v2.24.0 with ScrollView and FlatList

[maarten-22]

@marcshilling This was fixed for me in 2.25.0

Hmm, not for me. 2 finger scroll still not working. Nothing in the 2.25.0 release notes related to this?

Edit: I'm getting some sporadic behavior here. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't on different app launches...enabling TalkBack either before app launch or after app launch. Not reliable enough.

Sorry I posted too soon after seeing my ScrollView work with MaxPointer 1 set. That does seem to be fixed.

This is still an issue on 2.28.0. The behavior is very inconsistent though; sometimes scrolling is smooth, other times not. The behavior differs across app opens on the same component, and also if you just toggle TalkBack off and on.

Tried a couple patches but haven't found anything that works yet.

By the way, I have to agree that sometimes scrolling feels amazing and other times is terrible. It got me that I though I've fixed it, but then the issue resurfaced.

Yeah. This kind of issue.

Tried upgrading to 2.30.0 just now, seems to fix the issue.
-> Sorry, never mind. After upgrading Expo from 54 to 55 (RN 0.83), it stopped working again.
