@parasharrajat @marcochavezf
I have applied the changes I outlined here, to ensure it works correctly on firefox and also fixes this issue.

The horizontal alignment of the label (when not using EditedRenderer) is slightly different than on production. It can be easily fixed by changing the width style of the space (currently 4px), to 3px. However I thought I would check with you guys as it seems like it was unintentional to have the labels from EditedRenderer and ReportActionItemFragment with a different alignment, and mirroring this mis-alignment for the sake of consistency with production seemed potentially undesirable.

Also there is the issue where when selecting and copying the (edited) label with triple click causes the issues seen in #15810 to persist, however (although potentially out of scope for this issue) I outlined a potential simple fix for this here and fix for the reaction emojis being copied here.

Hi @Ollyws, could you take screenshots of how these elements are misaligned? Those elements were probably implemented separately before; if that's the case, I agree we should fix them.

Yes, can you share the screenshots to clarify.

                    >
-                        {` ${props.translate('reportActionCompose.edited')}`}
+                        <Text style={styles.w1}>{' '}</Text>


I see same as EditedRenderer. Correct?

@parasharrajat This is necessary for our solution to work on Firefox and also fixes this problem with overflow.
Yes, correct the same code as EditedRenderer.

How does this work?

I think the way Firefox deals with selection using flex, having a <span> between the two pieces of text stops them from both being selected at once.
It's a similar principle that causes them to break onto a second line properly.

This has a drawback where the edited label does not start from the start of the line.

Any thoughts?

@parasharrajat I'm having a look at it, but I'm not sure there is any easy solution. Do you think it is a big issue?
We could do something like setting the space width to 0px and adding margin-right on the preceding text, but that changes where the preceding text breaks.

What do you think @marcochavezf?

Ollyws · 2023-04-20T16:25:45Z

Hi @Ollyws, could you take screenshots of how these elements are misaligned? Those elements were probably implemented separately before; if that's the case, I agree we should fix them.

@marcochavezf Here's the difference between EditedRenderer and ReportActionItemFragment on production. It's only a 1px difference so hardly noticable. But they both have even values in this PR.

Ollyws · 2023-04-20T16:41:14Z

@parasharrajat @marcochavezf These two commits should fix #15810 which in our case is triple click selection which selects the (edited) label and also copies the reaction emojis.
Removing userSelectNone will ofcourse allow the user to select the reaction emojis by dragging, I hope this is acceptable.

Oh that's fine, the difference is pretty minor

Hi @Ollyws could you resolve the conflict with ReportActionItem?

Ollyws · 2023-04-21T18:48:00Z

@marcochavezf All done.

marcochavezf · 2023-04-21T18:52:05Z

Thanks @Ollyws, @parasharrajat let's review this one asap to keep our WAQ goal 🚀

parasharrajat · 2023-04-21T19:55:33Z

I will do that as soon. Currently working on an internal PR which is urgent.

Ollyws · 2023-04-22T08:45:13Z

@marcochavezf @parasharrajat I made these changes to stop it throwing an error on iOS, note we already do the same thing with many other styles. Hope this is OK.

Why the refactor?

Moving this to the top of the view changes its position in the DOM to be first (which makes sense since visually it is at the top). This means it won't be selected on triple-click as it is no longer after the (edited) label. This resolves the MiniReportActionContextMenu part of #15810

I am fine with it as it does not logically change anything.

The problem with this code is inconsistency. It looks incorrect that inline-flex is null on native.

The proper way would be:

Directly define this in the display.js as a new rule.

Where we have to switch the styles based on the platform and create a new function that decides which styles go where.

So a new function|lib editedlabelStyles can be created.

@parasharrajat Ok I see, could you point me at some code where we already do something like this so I have something to go on? I'm slightly confused about the implementation. Thanks.

You can do following

move display:inline-flex to the display.js as a new rule.

Create a new folder somewhere named editedlabelStyles. Created two child files index.native.js and index.js.

export objects from these files. Add dInlineFlex to the index.js file.

Now import and use this lib where needed.

@parasharrajat @marcochavezf Reverted these two commits because the emoji copying issue will be solved by #18228

@Ollyws I would say that you put back the MiniReportActionContextMenu change as it does not affect anything but solves a bug. It is good if #18228 make is future-proof.

let me know if you disagree.

Another issue with this change is that this space is selectable via triple click.

triple click on only the space and notice that it is selectable.

Can we just replace it with a margin?

@parasharrajat We could just add userSelectNone to prevent selection on triple click. Note: in this PR it will also copy the space but when #18228 is merged it shouldn't.
I'm concerned how removing the space would affect the original intention of adding it.

Ok, let's add that.

- I verified the steps for local testing are in the Tests section
- I verified the steps for Staging and/or Production testing are in the QA steps section
- I verified the steps cover any possible failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)

I checked that screenshots or videos are included for tests on all platforms
I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
I verified tests pass on all platforms & I tested again on:
- Android / native
- Android / Chrome
- iOS / native
- iOS / Safari
- MacOS / Chrome / Safari
- MacOS / Desktop
If there are any errors in the console that are unrelated to this PR, I either fixed them (preferred) or linked to where I reported them in Slack
I verified proper code patterns were followed (see Reviewing the code)
- I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick).
- I verified that the left part of a conditional rendering a React component is a boolean and NOT a string, e.g. myBool && <MyComponent />.
- I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
- I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
- I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
- I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
- I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is approved by marketing by adding the Waiting for Copy label for a copy review on the original GH to get the correct copy.
- I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
- I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
I verified that this PR follows the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
I verified other components that can be impacted by these changes have been tested, and I retested again (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar have been tested & I retested again)
I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.js or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
If a new component is created I verified that:
- A similar component doesn't exist in the codebase
- All props are defined accurately and each prop has a /** comment above it */
- The file is named correctly
- The component has a clear name that is non-ambiguous and the purpose of the component can be inferred from the name alone
- The only data being stored in the state is data necessary for rendering and nothing else
- For Class Components, any internal methods passed to components event handlers are bound to this properly so there are no scoping issues (i.e. for onClick={this.submit} the method this.submit should be bound to this in the constructor)
- Any internal methods bound to this are necessary to be bound (i.e. avoid this.submit = this.submit.bind(this); if this.submit is never passed to a component event handler like onClick)
- All JSX used for rendering exists in the render method
- The component has the minimum amount of code necessary for its purpose, and it is broken down into smaller components in order to separate concerns and functions
If any new file was added I verified that:
- The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
- A similar style doesn't already exist
- The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(themeColors.componentBG)
If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.
I have checked off every checkbox in the PR reviewer checklist, including those that don't apply to this PR.

There are a couple of questions above @marcochavezf in the review comments. Apart from these, I think it is working well. There are cases where triple click still selects extra elements but that is outside the scope of this PR and there are already PR that are trying to solve that.

marcochavezf · 2023-05-02T18:23:24Z

Yeah, I agree the selection of extra elements is not part of the scope of the PR. Also, I don't think there's a problem with the current platform file usage in the PR. Eventually, if we identify an issue, we should solve all the instances of platform file usage.

@marcochavezf @parasharrajat Unsure about the procedure here as it's the first time I've had a PR reverted. We decided to keep the change of MiniReportActionContextMenu just for good measure, although it's not necessary.
We can remove it without any problems which will solve the issue that caused the deploy blocker.
