Proposal

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

The currency list scrolls up.

What is the root cause of that problem?

In here, we'll scroll to top whenever the sections change, but the sections can change when the selected item change too, so even when the original list is not changed, it will still scroll to the top.

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

Listening to sections changes is not ideal due to the above reason.

We need to use the flattenedSections.allOptions instead, and in the useEffect we also should make sure the flattenedSections.allOptions, when omitting the isSelected from all items, have changed compared to the previous value.

Only after all that conditions are satisfied, we'll scroll to the top, this is the same approach as the OptionsSelector (OptionsSelector does not have isSelected inside items)

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

An even better design is to not embed the isSelected inside sections, but use a selectedItem prop instead, similar to the OptionsSelector
