[Android] KeyboardAwareScrollView causes content to disappear

[iankberry]

Description

This issue requires several different conditions but it is reproducible so I figured it was worth opening an issue for here.

Required conditions:

• Android (issue not present on iOS)
• A sheet with fitToContents detent
• A large amount of content exceeding the screen height
• A KeyboardAwareScrollView (from react-native-keyboard-controller) containing an autofocus text input

When these conditions are present, the form sheet fails to open properly as the content "blows out" off screen. Closing and re-opening the keyboard causes the content to appear normally. Disabling autofocus prevents the issue from occurring. As does using a standard RN ScrollView

Admittedly I realize that putting a scroll view inside of a sheet without a fixed parent height could be problematic. But this also feels like something that shouldn't be able to occur. It almost seems like a race condition of some sort with the keyboard appearing at the same time while the initial layout is being calculated.

Another thing to note is that sometimes the issue does not occur on the first attempt after the app is opened. It happens consistently after that though.
