Pressable onPress fires when scrolling FlatList

[Tobbe]

Description

When you have a list of <Pressable> inside a <FlatList>, and the list is short enough to fully fit on the screen (so that no scrolling is actually needed), then if you do scroll the list a whole bunch of onPress events will fire on the Pressable list items.

The expected behavior is that onPress should only be triggered when actually pressing an item.

I initially filed this report on the FlashList repo, but after further testing I actually believe this is a React Native issue.
Here's the FlashList issue: Shopify/flash-list#1461
Here's an older very similar React Native issue that's been closed without a fix: #27355

Steps to reproduce
