useHeaderHeight changes several times when orientation changes

[Gregoirevda]

Current behavior

In tablet, changing orientation causes the app to flicker and taking time to resize itself because many part of the app rely on a fairly static useHeaderHeight() value. (Including ScrollView contentContainerStyle and useEffects). When changing orientation, statusBarHeight goes from X to 0 and back to X. Causing many "re-layouts".

This only happens when going from landscape to portrait.

The reason is useSafeAreaInsets().top which goes from X to 0 to X.

Expected behavior

statusBarHeight should not jump to 0 when changing orientation

Hey @Gregoirevda! Thanks for opening the issue. It seems that the issue doesn't contain a link to a repro.

The best way to get attention to your issue is to provide an easy way for a developer to reproduce the issue.

You can provide a repro using any of the following:

• Expo Snack
• TypeScript Playground

• GitHub repo under your username

  A snack link is preferred since it's the easiest way to both create and share a repro. If it's not possible to create a repro using a snack, link to a GitHub repo under your username is a good alternative. Don't link to a branch or specific file etc. as it won't be detected.

  Try to keep the repro as small as possible by narrowing down the minimal amount of code needed to reproduce the issue. Don't link to your entire project or a project containing code unrelated to the issue. See "How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example" for more information.

  You can edit your original issue to include a link to the repro, or leave it as a comment. The issue will be closed automatically after a while if you don't provide a repro.

Couldn't find version numbers for the following packages in the issue:

• @react-navigation/native

Can you update the issue to include version numbers for those packages? The version numbers must match the format 1.2.3.
