glitching

[leemhenson]

Description

When Rive is running in the simulator through metro, and you leave the simulator. When you return you get weird artifacts appearing on the screen until the app is reloaded. Once reloaded, it's fine.

Provide a Repro

glitch.mp4

The video hasn't caught all of it either, there's actually more similar artifacts appearing on the character underneath the thought bubble. Both of those are two different Rive animation files displayed with rive-react-native.

Expected behavior

Not to glitch

Additional context

RN 0.76/Expo 52, but this was also observed on prior RN/Expo.
Also occurs on the Android simulator.

We have also now seen the same sort of glitching in a production release of our app, on an Android tablet. So I think it's fair to say whatever causes this glitching occurs much less often in a production build, but it is still there. We see it quite a lot on the simulator, almost always after returning to the app after it's been closed or backgrounded.
