Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Saved Private note field not sticky, page can be scrolled

What is the root cause of that problem?

We have made the notes to be scrollable.

App/src/pages/PrivateNotes/PrivateNotesListPage.tsx

Line 92 in 3ab4e6e

<ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.flexGrow1}>{privateNotes.map((item) => getMenuItem(item))}</ScrollView>

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Make them sticky and not scrollable

<ScrollView 
  contentContainerStyle={styles.flexGrow1}
  stickyHeaderIndices={privateNotes.map((_, index) => index)}
>
  {privateNotes.map((item) => getMenuItem(item))}
</ScrollView>

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

N/A

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The private notes are scrollable when there's no need to be scrollable.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We use a ScrollView component

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Use a regular View component
Will be scrollable once the content overflows.

component to replace is here:

App/src/pages/PrivateNotes/PrivateNotesListPage.tsx

Line 92 in 3ab4e6e

<ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.flexGrow1}>{privateNotes.map((item) => getMenuItem(item))}</ScrollView>

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

iOS - Saved Private note field not sticky, page can be scrolled

What is the root cause of that problem?

This is default bouncing behavior on iOS

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

App/src/pages/PrivateNotes/PrivateNotesListPage.tsx

Line 92 in 3ab4e6e

<ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.flexGrow1}>{privateNotes.map((item) => getMenuItem(item))}</ScrollView>

To be consistent with other platforms, we can disable bounce so pass bounces={false} to ScrollView

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We can just close this as not bug

[Christinadobrzyn]

I think this can be external, low priority, and seems to only be affecting iOS.

@Santhosh-Sellavel feel free to review the proposals.

I think we're reviewing proposals right @situchan?

[situchan]

@Christinadobrzyn to confirm, do you agree with expected behavior: Saved note field should be sticky & should not be able to scroll? This is iOS feature but should be fixed as inconsistent with other platforms?

[Christinadobrzyn]

Hi @situchan

Saved note field should be sticky & should not be able to scroll

Yes, I agree this should be the expected behaviour

This is iOS feature but should be fixed as inconsistent with other platforms?

Yes, I agree, it looks like this behaviour is exclusive to iOS and isn't happening on our other platforms. So I think this needs to be fixed to be consistent with the behaviour on our other apps. iOS Private Notes should behave the same as on other platforms.

Let me know if that helps!

[situchan]

@Christinadobrzyn thanks.
In that case, @mkhutornyi's proposal looks good to me.
