Adding Needs Reproduction label as I am unable to test this on Android

[Natnael-Guchima]

@stephanieelliott It works fine on Android. The issue is only observable on mobile web Chrome.

[stephanieelliott]

Hm, I'm not able to repro it on iOS mweb Chrome. So it sounds like it is isolated only to Android mweb Chrome. Are you saying that you are able to repro it on Android mweb Chrome @Natnael-Guchima?

Yes, the issue might be contained to Android mWeb. I am able to reproduce it on Android web Chrome @stephanieelliott . When you select members makes sure that the focus is maintained on the search bar. That might be it that made it hard to reproduce.

Can you send me a video recording of you trying to reproduce the issue, so that I might see if there is a difference in the reproduction step we are following?

[MelvinBot]

@stephanieelliott Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[stephanieelliott]

Ah ok I see now, thanks for the video. Now that I understand I don't think this is a bug. Keeping focus on the keyboard assumes you are preparing to type something -- I would expect the keyboard to launch each time focus is returned to the search bar.

Hmmm, but it is not consistent on Android and mWeb - on mobile web Chrome it launches the keyboard and on Android it doesn't.

Thanks for bearing with me, @Natnael-Guchima! For context, I’m digging into the behavior across platforms because I suspected the behavior could be related to nuances between keyboard settings, and is also somewhat low-value or better suited for a polish phase.

However, I agree that the behavior should at least be consistent between platforms and the Android case does look sorta janky. Gonna go ahead and put labels on this to move this forward.

No problem. Yes, let's see if we can come across a consistent, expected behavior for this issue that can be worth pursuing. If we can't we can close this issue and move on.

@mananjadhav @pecanoro @stephanieelliott this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[pecanoro]

I can't reproduce this on my pixel 7 using the last version on staging. The keyboard is never launched when I click on the members so I am going to close it!
