---

(long lasting LoadingIndicators on many screens)

Action Performed:

1. Open app
2. Go to "Search"/"New Chat"/"New Group" screen (any Screen that renders an OptionsSelector)
3. Wait for the loading spinner to end

Expected Result:

After the screen transition is done, the screen content should render relatively fast.

Actual Result:

Instead, even after the screen transition has ended a LoadingIndicator keeps spinning for a few (milli-)seconds.

That's because the OptionSelector component is waiting for the transitionEnd event to be emitted by react-navigation. (here) The transition will end at earliest though, once the screen content is rendered completely.

Workaround:

This is not blocking any flow.
