Reproduced while testing fix for https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/177787#issuecomment-921377044

Reproduction step:

1. User must be new. NVP "isFirstTimeNewExpensifyUser" must be true. This will cause the create menu to open automatically
2. You can guarantee it by setting the time out to 0 here:

   App/src/pages/home/sidebar/SidebarScreen.js

   Lines 84 to 86 in 09e2d94

   	setTimeout(() => {
   	this.toggleCreateMenu();
   	}, 200);

I bet it has something to do with why we need a timeout on this line:

App/src/pages/home/sidebar/SidebarScreen.js

Lines 84 to 86 in 09e2d94

	setTimeout(() => {
	this.toggleCreateMenu();
	}, 200);

By setting timeout to 0, and NVP "isFirstTimeNewExpensifyUser" to true, i can reproduce this consistently. I think this means, we are opening it before its either gotten the info it needs, or before something can be built/rendered?
