Hello, I'm from SoftwareMansion, an expert agency, and I can work on this.
It seems that the problem is cause by Member.clearWorkspaceOwnerChangeFlow(policyID); being called right before opening modal. Probably this causes page to re-render

[jnowakow]

I commented it out and it help on one workspace but when I navigate to other report I still can observe the problem. I'm looking for other cause

[mountiny]

Thanks Jan, can you please write the proposal once you find the root cause?

[jnowakow]

@mountiny it seems that the root cause is that the WorkspaceMembersPage is being unmounted and re-rendered when RHP is opened. First render of SelectionList seems to be heavy operation because when you navigate there for the first time there's also slight lag before list is rendered (it's better visible when watching frame by frame 😅 ):

I'm still looking for possible solution so I'm not able to write detailed proposal. I'll try to figure out why in this case whole page is re-rendered and how to prevent it.

[mountiny]

Thanks!

[jnowakow]

Okey, with huge help of @adamgrzybowski I manage to find out the root cause. The screens are unmounted and re-rendered because query params are added when RHP is opened. On the members screens the accountID is pushed to query params:

It's because getMatchingRootRouteForRHPRoute "thinks" that if RHP is aware of accountID then screens in the FullScreenNavigator also should know about it.

The best solution is to have strictly defined what screens accepts what params and don't pass anything more. It can be achieved either by parsing routes and pull params names from them or by defining constants with mapping between screen and params

Not Overdue, PR is in Draft

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!
