Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

• Extra spaces between text is not displayed on LHN (works fine on android app)

What is the root cause of that problem?

• Because of using whiteSpace: noWrap for the LHN subtitle, all the extra spaces between text is not displayed
  

  App/src/components/LHNOptionsList/OptionRowLHN.js

  Lines 86 to 91 in 76c1559

  	const alternateTextStyle = StyleUtils.combineStyles(
  	props.viewMode === CONST.OPTION_MODE.COMPACT
  	? [textStyle, styles.optionAlternateText, styles.noWrap, styles.textLabelSupporting, styles.optionAlternateTextCompact, styles.ml2]
  	: [textStyle, styles.optionAlternateText, styles.noWrap, styles.textLabelSupporting],
  	props.style,
  	);

• To fix the issue: LHN alternativeText is also multilined, we have used the whiteSpace: noWrap style allow Request money 'Description' to accept multiline #21664 (comment).
• But here fix - Translate IOU contents to the correct langauage #25629, we have already changed the way to get the LHN subtitle, so the above bug is not appeared

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

• As I mentioned in the RCA, now we can using whilteSpace: pre style with the LHN subtitle
