Suspected mechanism (not yet verified on a device)

src/hooks/useReportActionsScroll.ts:210-216keepsmaintainVisibleContentPosition.autoscrollToBottomThresholdat0on purpose. - On a short report, FlashList treats the list as always "near bottom", so it keeps setting its pending autoscroll-to-bottom flag.
- When the Android keyboard opens,
adjustResizechanges the window height. FlashList then uses the flag and callsscrollToEnd. - Each keystroke sets the flag again, so the report jumps again while you type.
