Issues with PanGestureHandler and Animated Style

[hashedname]

I'm building a draggable flat list with fixed height items: here is a snack.

Basically when the user drags the handle of an item I find which item was dragged and then I render a copy of the item with an absolute position. The problem is that when the user taps and holds the handle of an item the state changes to BEGAN, but the absolute positioned item is placed at the wrong position, while if the user moves it and the state changes to ACTIVE it is positioned correctly and moves along with the gesture of the user. I placed some logs and I can't see odd values except for the onLayout event which actually prints 0 when the state changes to BEGAN (note that it would actually be placed at a negative y position if it wasn't for the Math.max boundary when computing the animated style).

Am I missing something?

EDIT:

I opened an issue #2078 with a simpler snack: https://snack.expo.io/sLXZ7Y8OO.

Can anyone help with this, please? Is this a bug or am I missing something?
