List flickering if `maintainVisibleContentPosition.startRenderingFromBottom` is set to true

[VickyStash]

Description

When maintainVisibleContentPosition.startRenderingFromBottom is set to true, only the bottom item is rendered at first. This is causing a flickering effect during list rendering.
It seems to be okay if maintainVisibleContentPosition.startRenderingFromBottom is set to false.

Current behavior

When maintainVisibleContentPosition.startRenderingFromBottom is set to true, only the bottom item is rendered at first.

Expected behavior

When maintainVisibleContentPosition.startRenderingFromBottom is set to true, items to fill the displayed area are rendered.
