Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Scroll bar briefly appears between every page navigation from the LHN of the Reports page

What is the root cause of that problem?

The ScrollView component briefly displays scrollbars during initial rendering because it cannot immediately determine if the content exceeds the container height. This occurs for saved search lists with 5+ items that are almost scrollable but not quite long enough, causing a temporary miscalculation of dimensions.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We can use onContentSizeChange to measure the total content height and onLayout to measure the ScrollView container height.

    const [contentHeight, setContentHeight] = useState(0);
    const [scrollViewHeight, setScrollViewHeight] = useState(0);

Add logic to show the scrollbars only when the content height exceeds the container height here

        <ScrollView
            onScroll={onScroll}
            ref={scrollViewRef}
            onContentSizeChange={(_, height) => setContentHeight(height)}
            onLayout={(e) => setScrollViewHeight(e.nativeEvent.layout.height)}
            showsVerticalScrollIndicator={contentHeight > scrollViewHeight}
        >

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Scroll bar briefly appears between every page navigation from the LHN of the Reports page

What is the root cause of that problem?

In the LHN of the Reports page, we wrap the content inside a ScrollView. When the content size exceeds the available height, the scroll bar appears.

App/src/pages/Search/SearchTypeMenu.tsx

Lines 162 to 165 in acd7a79

	<ScrollView
	onScroll={onScroll}
	ref={scrollViewRef}
	>

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We can hide the vertical scroll bar, similar to how we handled it for the LHN of the Inbox and InitialSettingsPage pages, by adding:
showsVerticalScrollIndicator={false}

App/src/pages/Search/SearchTypeMenu.tsx

Lines 162 to 165 in acd7a79

	<ScrollView
	onScroll={onScroll}
	ref={scrollViewRef}
	>

  <ScrollView
            onScroll={onScroll}
            ref={scrollViewRef}
            showsVerticalScrollIndicator={false} //new code
        >
