…edge mode In legacy mode (edgeToEdgeEnabled=false), applyDecorViewTopInsetIfNeeded was applying topInset as paddingTop to the toolbar even though the system already positions the toolbar below the status bar. This caused the toolbar height to be inflated, resulting in unexpected bottom padding when headerShown=true. Fix detects legacy mode by comparing toolbar's Y position on screen with the status bar inset. In edge-to-edge the toolbar starts at y=0, in legacy it starts at y=statusBarInset, so paddingTop is only applied in edge-to-edge.

Description
While investigating an unexpected bottom padding issue when using
headerShown=truewith
edgeToEdgeEnabled=false, I found that it had already been fixed in the4.25.0-beta.1release (thecorrectedHeight/correctedOffsetYlogic was removedfrom
Screen.onLayout).After upgrading to the beta to confirm the fix, I encountered a new issue: the toolbar
height was being inflated by the status bar height when running in legacy non
edge-to-edge mode (
edgeToEdgeEnabled=false), causing the header to render visuallylarger than expected when
headerShown=true.The root cause was in
applyDecorViewTopInsetIfNeededinsideCustomToolbar. Inlegacy mode,
onApplyWindowInsetsis never triggered by the system, so this fallbackruns on
onAttachedToWindow. It was applyingtopInsetaspaddingTopto the toolbarunconditionally, even though in legacy mode the system already positions the toolbar
below the status bar, making that padding redundant and causing double offset.
Changes
Modified
applyDecorViewTopInsetIfNeededinCustomToolbar.ktto detect whetherthe app is running in edge-to-edge mode before applying
paddingTopto the toolbar.The detection compares the toolbar's Y position on screen with the status bar inset:
y=0→toolbarTopOnScreen < statusBarInset→ padding is applied ✅y=statusBarInset→ condition is false → padding is skipped ✅Before & after - visual documentation:

Reproduced and fixed with:

react-native: 0.85.2,react-native-screens: 4.25.0-beta.1@react-navigation/native-stack: ^7.14.12And finally im still learning, so i did´t make more tests on different devices (with newer versions of Android or different screen sizes) but i hope this helps.
