Navigation fails when navigating from sheet without dismissing first (keyboard opens instead)

[ugoi]

When trying to navigate to another screen from within a TrueSheet without dismissing the sheet first, the navigation fails and the
keyboard unexpectedly opens instead.

Video of the issue:

Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.iPhone.16e.-.2026-01-23.at.21.16.04_compressed.mp4

Expected behavior:
Navigate directly from the sheet to another screen.

Actual behavior:
Navigation fails, keyboard opens unexpectedly.

Workaround that works:
I have to dismiss the sheet first and add a delay before navigating:

const handleEmailContinue = () => {                                                                                                   
  navigation.goBack(); // dismiss sheet first                                                                                         
  setTimeout(() => {                                                                                                                  
    navigation.navigate("(main)", { screen: "sign-in" });                                                                             
  }, 1000); // need delay for navigation to work                                                                                      
};

const handleEmailContinue = () => {                                                                                                   
  // This doesn't work - keyboard opens, navigation fails                                                                             
  navigation.navigate("(main)", { screen: "sign-in" });

1. Is this expected behavior? Should sheets always be dismissed before navigating?                                                    
2. Is there a way to navigate directly without the dismiss + delay workaround?                                                        
3. Is the 1000ms delay necessary or can it be shorter?                                                                                
                                                                                                                                      
Environment:

Did you apply the react-native-screens patch? https://sheet.lodev09.com/guides/navigation#navigating-from-sheets

[ugoi]

Yes I applied it but still same issue

[aquaticone]

I'm experiencing the same issue with expo-router. Seems less than ~750ms timeout and I can't navigate to a page from a sheet. Patch has been applied.
