I think its a specific flow with a workaround for the user, the live markdown library is tough to update, we cannot just CP aa library update and we need to deploy so at this state we should demote imho.

@Skalakid @BartoszGrajdek @tomekzaw for visibility

We could apply some patch though temporarily

Unable to auto-create job on Upwork. The BZ team member should create it manually for this issue.

Yeah agree that I don't think this needs to be a blocker. Would be great if the live markdown experts have a fix! Seems pretty easy to add a test for too once it's updated.

Mentioned in Slack but doesn't look like it carried over, I found while testing the below, which might be related

@m-natarajan @dangrous @mallenexpensify I can't reproduce this issue on the latest main, can you check if it still occurs? I think #44958 might have fixed it

I also couldn't reproduce (2024-07-15 / v9.0.6-8 ), I have the same result as the video above.

@dangrous, @OfstadC, @brunovjk Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[dangrous]

yes this seems fixed for me as well! I'm going to close - but @mallenexpensify if you're still getting it, let us know!
