DatePicker modal jumps onLoad

[MartijnWeijman]

I have an issue that when I open the DatePickerModal it goes to the Top of the screen and then jumps into the correct position. I'm using for the emulator a Google Pixel 6 Pro and on my physicial device (Flip 3) it has the same issue. Hopefully anyone could help me with this!

Hey! Thanks for opening the issue. Can you provide a minimal repro which demonstrates the issue? Posting a snippet of your code in the issue is useful, but it's not usually straightforward to run. A repro will help us debug the issue faster. Please try to keep the repro as small as possible. The easiest way to provide a repro is on snack.expo.dev. If it's not possible to repro it on snack.expo.dev, then you can also provide the repro in a GitHub repository.

Here is a example repo of how I use it in my App: https://github.com/MartijnWeijman/DatePickerExample

Thanks, I'm new in React Native but I will try to investigate a little bit to try to solve it.

Are you sure the documentation is ok?
I forked the project and I tried to do the first steps and nothing.

Yes, we just had a first time contributor submit a pull request today and they followed the same documentation. It's hard to tell exactly what you're problem is as there isn't enough information to go off of from the video. Some thoughts that come to mind (do you have yarn? Is the project code inside the directory you are currently in?). Perhaps @RichardLindhout has some initial thoughts

[SoyDiego]

Yes, I installed yarn.
I can see the files in my VSCode.
I tried using npm install and I have node_modules but I cannot start the project.

Very weird

I was in my work before with Windows.
Now in my home with Linux I followed the docs and I could start the project.
Thanks and sorry for write in this post all this things.

I hope we can fix the problem of the modal

No problem. I don't have a windows machine so I probably wasn't much help. I'll be around if you have any questions though.

@iM-GeeKy I have checked almost all the componentes touching the styles and I couldn't find the problem.
I realized that it's not the modal, it's some component behind it that causes the content behind it to jump.
I reduced the height of the modal to show:

.

Maybe with this information can help me or guide me in the correct direction to try to fix it.

Thanks again

@RichardLindhout can you give me a tip or any help where I need to look to find the problem.
I have checked and trying with a lot of styles in differents ways in a lot of components with no luck.

thanks
