@isagoico do you have a video you can add? thanks it's easier to replicate/understand when there is a video

[isagoico]

Yep! Adding it now - Looks like the "beginning of your chat" is not being rendered in the conversation 🤔 maybe this is happening because of that.

Attaching the video here and to the OC.

Looking into this

[roryabraham]

The problem appears to be that the ReportActionsList isn't rendering at all:

And I saw this error which might be a hint:

Trying to get a C+ review of #10648 not sure if I did it right 😓

Current assignee @michaelhaxhiu is eligible for the ContributorPlusReview assigner, not assigning anyone new.

Hmm, I'm trying to get a C+ team member to review this improved fix PR. Does anyone know why this assigned a Contributor manager instead?

Hey @thesahindia 👋

Please review my PR here, which reverts a RN bugfix and replaces it with a native fix. Ideally, you would test on a physical Android device. But please let me know if you're not able to do this!

[thesahindia]

Hey @Julesssss, it will take me a few hours. I had to reset my mac, it was acting funny😓

[michaelhaxhiu]

Should this be open till #10648 is merged to prod?
