It's happening on my pixel phone as well and it's pretty bad as it's preventing me fro using the app

[mountiny]

@pecanoro does it happen reliably? You can still click the buttons right?

Definitely not a good UX if its shifted

Gonna ask swm to look into this

[pecanoro]

@mountiny I can't open the menus on the top, I am stuck, so pretty unusable

[pecanoro]

I think it might be due to #51475 but I am not fully sure since I am having trouble testing it

[WoLewicki]

I saw this issue some time ago while working on 0.76 so it is most probably connected. At some point I stopped seeing this so I thought that it is fixed but seems like it is just much less frequent now. But yeah, most probably #48911 is the cause.

[shubham1206agra]

Isn't this issue old? cc @jayeshmangwani

[jayeshmangwani]

@shubham1206agra Yes We have a similar issue when opening the app from a notification here #48190, and I can reliably reproduce that issue.

However, the current issue that occurs when opening the app normally is not reproducible on my end.

[pecanoro]

The problem is that forcing stopping the app doesn't fix it either. Logging out doesn't work either. So I am going to try uninstalling and installing again

[pecanoro]

Ok, that didn't work either, now it seems I am stuck in this state forever

[mountiny]

Seems like the update just made it more prominent but the problem occured before. Maybe its similar root cause as with the other blocker and its a race condition. But since the upgrade of rn made things faster this could show up more often.

As this is last blocker without proposed solution and revert of rn is not desirable i am going to make this external for $500. Hopefully we can fix the issue @jayeshmangwani also mentioned

@Julesssss
Oh
Crup
We made 2 PRs related to the OD fix 😅

But after your changes we have this issue

Although my fix is ​​not perfect either 😖

And I suppose we still need changes from this PR
Since we fixed ND issues

[Julesssss]

@ZhenjaHorbach I don't think either are the correct fix yet. Thanks for trying mine though! I'm going to close it.

[pecanoro]

I don't think this needs payment so closing

[ZhenjaHorbach]

I don't think this needs payment so closing

Actually not sure about 500$ 😅
But I think 250$ makes sense for me
Since I reviewed a PR
And found steps to reproduce twice

[pecanoro]

@ZhenjaHorbach Can you link it? I couldn't find it, that's why I closed it, but it was a long issue so I probably missed it.

[pecanoro]

Oh I see it here! It wasn't showing as approved, so I thought you didn't review it, but now I see the checklist.
