Description
After selectable text inside a ScrollView has been touched in a way that neither creates a selection nor scrolls the ScrollView, certain interactions cause the ScrollView to scroll to the top.
(I'm not sure exactly what set of events are necessary to trigger the jump, but I have a text unloading algorithm that consistently causes it. The issue may be specific to large or nested Texts, and may have to do with content changing as the result of a scroll event? Changing the content of the text in a setInterval didn't seem to be enough to cause it, so I just copied the unloading algorithm out of my codebase.)
As a workaround, updating the key prop on the selectable text component seems to clear the glitched state.

Steps to reproduce
- Run the Snack below on an Android device (Snack's provided one or your own).
- Scroll up and down; observe that scrolling works as expected.
- Tap on the text without starting a selection or scrolling. (Tapping to cancel a selection works.)
- Try scrolling again; observe that the scroll jumps to the top now.

Set USE_WORKAROUND to true to see the workaround in action (this breaks the ability to actually select text, but if you need to use this in production, you can use https://github.com/artemiswkearney/react-native-selectable-text to add an onSelectionStart handler where you cancel running the workaround)
