Surely we have already logged this somewhere...? It's the same bug that will be fixed by sequenceNumber deprecation which @roryabraham is writing the detailed portion for now.

[mallenexpensify]

What's different for this, or what I hadn't experienced is the duplicate is in the compose box. Updated title

[HOLD Sequence #] Duplicate Messages appearing in compose box after message sent (then app closed soon after)

https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/227234

I'd assign to myself to monitor or test once the time is right but I'm OOO for a month soon

[melvin-bot]

Triggered auto assignment to @Christinadobrzyn (AutoAssignerTriage), see https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/4749 for more details.

[Christinadobrzyn]

Since this is on hold until https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/227234 is resolved, going to move this to weekly

[Christinadobrzyn]

Moving to weekly since this is on [Hold]

[aldo-expensify]

This is probably the same thing, but I can consistently reproduce it with the following steps:

1. Send the following message in a chat:
   This is the list of domains that I'm explicitly ignoring in the Firm MRR query: 'aol.com', 'att.net', 'bellsouth.net', 'bills.expensify.com', 'expensify.cash', 'btinternet.com', 'cheerful.com', 'chromeexpensify.com', 'comcast.net', 'cox.net', 'evernote.user', 'expensify.sms', 'gmail.com', 'gmail.con', 'googlemail.com', 'hey.com', 'hotmail.co.uk', 'hotmail.com', 'hotmail.fr', 'hotmail.it', 'icloud.com', 'live.com', 'mac.com', 'mail.ru', 'me.com', 'msn.com', 'outlook.com', 'privaterelay.appleid.com', 'qq.com', 'sasktel.net', 'sbcglobal.net', 'verizon.net', 'yahoo.ca', 'yahoo.co.in', 'yahoo.co.uk', 'yahoo.com.br', 'yahoo.com', 'ymail.com', 'expensifail.com'
2. Click on a different chat
3. Click on the chat where you sent the first message on step 1.
4. You should see it repeating

Weirdly this doesn't happen to me with any message, but with this specific content it does.

[Christinadobrzyn]

I can replicate that in staging.

1. Open a chat in staging
2. Copy & paste This is the list of domains that I'm explicitly ignoring in the Firm MRR query: 'aol.com', 'att.net', 'bellsouth.net', 'bills.expensify.com', 'expensify.cash', 'btinternet.com', 'cheerful.com', 'chromeexpensify.com', 'comcast.net', 'cox.net', 'evernote.user', 'expensify.sms', 'gmail.com', 'gmail.con', 'googlemail.com', 'hey.com', 'hotmail.co.uk', 'hotmail.com', 'hotmail.fr', 'hotmail.it', 'icloud.com', 'live.com', 'mac.com', 'mail.ru', 'me.com', 'msn.com', 'outlook.com', 'privaterelay.appleid.com', 'qq.com', 'sasktel.net', 'sbcglobal.net', 'verizon.net', 'yahoo.ca', 'yahoo.co.in', 'yahoo.co.uk', 'yahoo.com.br', 'yahoo.com', 'ymail.com', 'expensifail.com'
3. Go to a different chat
4. Go back to the original chat and you can see the message dupe

So should this stay on hold for this? https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/227234

I'm not really sure what to do here...

[mallenexpensify]

Yeah.. I'd recommend keeping it on hold pending #227234 in E/E. It'll be addressed there. As far as the BZ role here.. I'd stay on top of the tracking issue and, if progress isn't being made, ping the folks assigned there.

[Christinadobrzyn]

Still on hold waiting for - https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/227234

[JmillsExpensify]

Just came across this one. I'm taking over since I'm on the linked Sequence Numbers doc.

[JmillsExpensify]

Still on hold for sequence numbers, which is starting to pick up the pace.

[JmillsExpensify]

Same same, though we're making great progress.

[JmillsExpensify]

Still on hold for the sequence numbers.

[melvin-bot]

Looks like something related to react-navigation may have been mentioned in this issue discussion.

As a reminder, please make sure that all proposals are not workarounds and that any and all attempt to fix the issue holistically have been made before proceeding with a solution. Proposals to change our DeprecatedCustomActions.js files should not be accepted.

Feel free to drop a note in #expensify-open-source with any questions.

[JmillsExpensify]

Taking this off hold now and attempting to reproduce.

[JmillsExpensify]

Unable to reproduce this one now. Closing.

[mallenexpensify]

This issue used to happen to me frequently, not able to reproduce on two tries either!
