Looks like this is a new feature not a bug

[Christinadobrzyn]

I agree @dukenv0307, looks like a new feature not a bug but I think it's good to push forward.

Can we combine this issue with this fix? #19673

Hey @MariaHCD do you think this is good to build? I think this can be external but let me know if you think it should be internal!

[MariaHCD]

Hey @MariaHCD do you think this is good to build? I think this can be external but let me know if you think it should be internal!

I think it makes sense to have this feature but I think the plan for editing messages with mentions is still a WIP. Could you confirm, @puneetlath?

[puneetlath]

Ah interesting. It looks like neither emoji auto-suggestion or mentions auto-suggestion currently works while editing a comment. I agree it is something we should add though.

@stitesExpensify do you know if we have thought about this for emojis at all already?

[stitesExpensify]

I think this is pretty much as far as we got with it #14686 (comment)

Basically "Yeah, we should add that". I don't think that the discussion continued though

[puneetlath]

I think we should probably wait until we have the inline auto-suggester: #16078

[MariaHCD]

Nice, makes sense. Thanks, @puneetlath! Should this be on hold for the inline auto-suggester? Additionally, I'm assuming once that is complete, this issue can be external?

[puneetlath]

Yes, I think it makes sense to put it on hold for that. After that, yes, I think we could make it external. Though given that it's a new feature and potentially a little complex, it might be a good one for an expert agency to work on.

[Christinadobrzyn]

Not overdue - Added daily label since payment on PR #16078 is tomorrow

[Christinadobrzyn]

Looks like PR is in production so I think we can move forward with this? Adding external.

Regression Test Proposal

• Testing Emoji Suggestions when editing a message:

1. Open a report.
2. Send a multiline message.
3. Right click on that message and choose Edit message
4. Type an emoji trigger, starting with :sm followed by at least two more characters (e.g., :smile).
5. Verify that the suggestion box appears adjacent to the cursor.
6. Move the cursor to a new position in the text field.
7. Again, type an emoji-like text with at least two characters following the :sm prefix.
8. Confirm that the suggestion box appears next to the cursor as expected.

• Testing Mention Suggestions when editing a message:

1. Open a report.
2. Send a multiline message.
3. Right-click on that message and choose Edit Message
4. Initiate a mention by typing the @ symbol followed by any text (e.g., @username).
5. Verify that the suggestion box appears adjacent to the cursor.
6. Move the cursor to a new position in the text field.
7. Again, Initiate a mention by typing the @ symbol followed by any text (e.g., @username).
8. Confirm that the suggestion box appears next to the cursor as expected.

• Testing scroll disabling when the suggestion box is open when editing a message:

1. Send multiple messages in a report.
2. Edit a message in the middle
3. Type an emoji/mention trigger, starting with :sm (or @ for mention) followed by at least two more characters (e.g., :smile).
4. Scroll over the chat with the suggestion box opened
5. Verify that scrolling is disabled when the suggestion box is opened
6. On desktop, Verify that the cursor type is default outside the suggestion box and hand cursor inside the suggestion box
7. Click on the area outside the box and verify that the suggestion box is closed
8. Verify that scrolling over the chat is enabled now
