[Android] Menu flashes when opening

[lovegaoshi]

Current behaviour

The menu component flashes when opening the menu via visible=true. I think this is actually not observable in production builds (with a Samsung S21) but rather in poor performance scenarios (dev, emulator)

Expected behaviour

The menu doesnt flash

How to reproduce?

show a menu

Preview

the video only shows the menu flashing once; in the actual emulator it flashes every time when the menu opens

What have you tried so far?

add

await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1));

fixes this issue; unfortunately I learned enough from experience to know this works but cant tell why.
