Odd issue - text shows up only when scrolled around

Hi folks, I am stumped by a problem reported by a few Android users (doesn’t happen on desktop or iOS). Any ideas where I can look? The users say this problem started a few versions ago of my app - that is when I updated ionic.

The problem is that text on lists don’t show up till they scroll. These are standard ion-content lists (source code) (I tried removing scroll-vista and mouse-wheel directives - no effect). This is just one view - the problem is consistent for any ion-content that scrolls.

Does it happen for all Android users?
Is it on specific devices or OS versions?

So far Android 7.1.2 and a Nexus tablet running Android 6. I tried running it on an emulator with 7.1.2, I don’t see the problem. So at this stage, I don’t know if its a device specific issue.
