@izarutskaya It's not clear to me what the regression is. Is the keyboard taking up more space than it needs to?

[izarutskaya]

@jasperhuangg sorry for confusing, video for some reason not downloaded.

We about the empty space above the keyboard. Updated GH ticket

[jasperhuangg]

Definitely seems like a front-end issue

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @paultsimura (External)

[jasperhuangg]

This looks like a potential candidate: #53393 Going to try reverting that and making an AdHoc build

EDIT: I don't think an AdHoc build will be testable since it is HybridApp

[jasperhuangg]

Minor display bug, probably not worth blocking deploy on.

[jasperhuangg]

cc @jnowakow this might be related to stuff you're working on, FYI

[jnowakow]

@jasperhuangg I'll have a look on it

[jnowakow]

@izarutskaya is this a thing that you can reliably reproduce each time?

[jnowakow]

@jasperhuangg I forgot to ask you to assign me here. I think I found the solution.

[jnowakow]

Okey I thought I have solution for this one but it solves #53185. But when I try to reproduce this issue I get something like this (it's recording from standalone ND):

ND-main.mov

[jnowakow]

It seems that openReport call is duplicated.

[jnowakow]

@jasperhuangg I'm not able to reproduce it anymore because I'm being navigated to the screen two times. Anyone who I asked doesn't see this behaviour so I suppose it's random problem on my side.
But recently I worked on similar issue and fix just got merged so I believe it may fix this one as well

[mallenexpensify]

Thanks @jnowakow , threw retest-weekly on here, let's see if QA is able to reproduce.

[melvin-bot]

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @mallenexpensify, @jasperhuangg eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

[mvtglobally]

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)
