@lschurr FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

[lschurr]

I'm heading OOO from 9/23-10/4 so I need to reassign this one.

@CortneyOfstad, @rushatgabhane Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

Not overdue as we're still waiting for this to be retested!

[teneeto]

Hey! I'm Eto Olei from Callstack. I will like to look into this issue. Please assign it to me. Thanks!

[melvin-bot]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[CortneyOfstad]

Sounds great @teneeto! Thanks!

[teneeto]

Still investigating this one.

@CortneyOfstad @teneeto @rushatgabhane 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!

[teneeto]

Hi @CortneyOfstad I'm still looking into this. Although i can see a similar behaviour, but I have not yet reproduced the exact issue as seen in description. Still some more time to dig in.

[teneeto]

I'm not sure if I'm missing any steps, but I still can't reproduce this. Can we retest it?

[CortneyOfstad]

Thanks @teneeto! I also am not able to consistently reproduce this — going to close!
