Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android and iOS rendering difference described in the issue, using overflowing absolutely positioned items in the image header scroll view. Compare the reported screenshots and determine which component or rendering entry point controls clipping; done means overflowing items render on Android as they do on iOS.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Rendering any overflowing items (by using position: 'absolute') will work fine on iOS but clip them off on Android, no matter where I render them. (As content/children, foreground, etc..)
