Before submitting a new issue

  • I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
  • I tested using a supported version of react native.
  • I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

I use Drawer component from react-native-drawer-layout
If I navigate from home screen (the screen I use the drawer) to a stack screen which has tab navigation, the tabs and its content flickers. (Sometimes non-stop, sometimes only when changing tabs). I am not sure if this is related to this library or drawer library.

I tried with RN 76 and 77. It only happens on new arch.
You can just remove the drawer in home.tsx in the repo and see the difference.
