Snaggin this since I reported and now can't reproduce on desktop nor staging and production on web.
Will leave open for a bit in case it happens again.

[mallenexpensify]

Been trying to repro with no luck, will leave open one more week then plan to close

[melvin-bot]

@mallenexpensify this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[mallenexpensify]

Happening again, twice today! I was on a version before v9.0.77-6 (just updated)
I have no idea what reproduction steps might be. I didn't paste text into the compose box that might have altered formatting

[melvin-bot]

Upwork job price has been updated to $250

[mallenexpensify]

Bumped to $250 to see if anyone else can reproduce and provide steps. Weird it's happened to me multiple times, on separate occasions, but no one else

[hoangzinh]

Thanks @mallenexpensify. I tried to reproduce this issue but was unsuccessful, hopefully, someone can provide steps

[CyberAndrii]

This should be fixed by #54593

[hoangzinh]

Thanks @CyberAndrii. The issue here looks similar with this issue, should we make this issue On-hold @mallenexpensify?

[mvtglobally]

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)

[melvin-bot]

@hoangzinh, @mallenexpensify Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[hoangzinh]

@mallenexpensify, should we change it to "Weekly" because it's on-hold?
