[Christinadobrzyn]

I can reproduce this... but it's not super consistent. Because of the inconsistency, I wonder if we should not fix this now and see if something else resolves it.

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor Plus for review of internal employee PR - @mananjadhav (Internal)

[Christinadobrzyn]

hey @mananjadhav can you give me your thoughts on #27456 (comment)

[Christinadobrzyn]

nudge @mananjadhav on #27456 (comment)

[mananjadhav]

I tried a few times, but I couldn't. I checked on the emulator. Does it require a physical device to check?

[Christinadobrzyn]

I was using the Chrome Website on a physical Android device (User B) and messaging the Android app through Browserstack (User A).

It's not super consistent which is always tough to troubleshoot so I don't know if we should just close this and expect it will clear up with other issues.

[melvin-bot]

@mananjadhav @Christinadobrzyn this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[Christinadobrzyn]

I updated the OP to see if that helps @mananjadhav - can you try again to reproduce and let me know what you think is best next steps here... maybe we should close since it's difficult to reproduce.

[melvin-bot]

@mananjadhav, @Christinadobrzyn Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[mananjadhav]

@Christinadobrzyn I think you can reassign this one. I haven't been able to spend as much time as this requires.

[MonilBhavsar]

That PR is deployed to staging and will be deployed to production tonight. It has also been checked off successfully in QA test run. I think we don't need to hold onto that. Feel free to create a PR! 🚀

[artus9033]

I see, I must've confused the last messages - perfect, I will get it done, then.

Just checking on the payment of this because there were several people working on this.

@MonilBhavsar @artus9033 and @situchan can you confirm this payment summary is correct.

Do we have a regression test for this?

[artus9033]

@Christinadobrzyn it seems like I am listed as a paid contributor, however, I should be a contractor (member of Callstack). Could you update that please?

[situchan]

Just checking on the payment of this because there were several people working on this.

@MonilBhavsar @artus9033 and @situchan can you confirm this payment summary is correct.

Do we have a regression test for this?

Correct.

I think we already we have regression test case since reported by QA team.

[MonilBhavsar]

Yes correct! We can close this once we have issued payment to everyone

[Christinadobrzyn]

Awesome! Thanks @situchan and @MonilBhavsar - I paid @situchan based on this payment summary - #27456 (comment)
