We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsb
CC @quinthar

[MitchExpensify]

I am having trouble understanding this bug. Can you please rephrase the expected and actual results @kbecciv?

[Santhosh-Sellavel]

@MitchExpensify
Check the above screenshot taken from the issue description.

Bug 1

In the composer box email is broken into multiple lines due to a long email, but still, some space on the right side is there.

The same email uses the full available space after sending it in the message area

Bug 2

Additionally, after sending, the full email ID is still displayed

I don't get this properly. But I guess
After selecting a user for mentioning from the suggested options, the message should have had the user name in the message instead of the email ID if the user name is available.

Example @Mitch instead [email protected]

Can you confirm @kbecciv ?

[kbecciv]

Yes, correct! @Santhosh-Sellavel

[melvin-bot]

[melvin-bot]

[melvin-bot]

@MitchExpensify this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

I could reproduce this yesterday, but I'm no longer able to after merging main, even though I'm not entirely confident doing so is what fixed it.

I'll explain why in a little bit.

Firstly, everything worked fine to begin with on Android Web.

Android Chrome screenshots

Secondly, I noticed that the reason the text got formatted incorrectly is that the input started with an @ sign followed by some characters that extended to the next line and then a period in between.

This is what happens when you mention a user with a very long email address.

Here's the video I recorded yesterday.

Previous bug recording

I did some digging and decided to test this assumption using the React Native docs' Expo playground a couple of minutes ago.

The results confirmed my suspicions, and in addition, the bug occurred with a couple of other characters too.

I checked the React Native issues but didn't find anything reported on this behavior.

I believe this could be a bug in the TextInput on Android.

I haven't opened an issue yet on the React Native repo.
