Seems related to the grammar extension that they're using.

[mountiny]

I do have Grammarly installed

[allroundexperts]

Can you try without that?

[mountiny]

I dont know how to write without that

[mountiny]

I cannot reproduce it now even with it on, so I will keep monitoring if it happens again

PR is ready

cc: @allroundexperts

I'll open the upstream PR later and link it on the App PR. Done

[stephanieelliott]

Hey @bernhardoj cross posting @allroundexperts comment from the PR -- can you give an ETA on when you'll be able to address this? This is a critical bug, so we are trying to get it unblocked ASAP:

@bernhardoj Can you maybe try to merge main and then we can trigger a rebuild? It's not working for me on Android web.

[stephanieelliott]

Hey @bernhardoj bump on the above ^^

[bernhardoj]

Sorry, I was OOO, addressed the comment.
