This is very likely the same issue as in:

• [HOLD for payment 2023-07-14] [$4000] Text selection options disappears abruptly #16696

and will be fixed with:

• [Fix #16696] Rewrite BaseTextInput to function component #20186

I will test this in a few minutes to verify 😊

// EDIT: I can't reproduce this on the debug build from the main branch

[dylanexpensify]

Sounds like this was fixed then, yeah @hannojg? 😄

[dylanexpensify]

bump @hannojg?

[hannojg]

Sorry, I edited the message instead of commenting 👀
I wasn't able to reproduce the issue at all. That means I wasn't able to confirm whether the fix from the mentioned PR will fix this issue.

We can test it again once the PR got merged?

[dylanexpensify]

Ahh sorry @hannojg! Didn't see that 🤦, any idea when PR will be merged and we can test again? Considering making this weekly

[hannojg]

@dylanexpensify The PR got merged two days ago, you (or the issue creator) can either test from the main branch or wait until its on staging 😊

[dylanexpensify]

waiting for pr to be on staging!

[hannojg]

@dylanexpensify Its on staging!

[dylanexpensify]

WOOOOOO! Will test today!

[hannojg]

Awesome, let me know how it went! By now its also on production, so should be easy to test 😊

[dylanexpensify]

testing now!

[dylanexpensify]

fixed!! 🎉 ty @hannojg!!

Hi

@dylanexpensify did you check the build for iOS on main or staging branch?

I'm checking it too

[tranvantoan-qn]

I built the app with main and the issue seems to be fixed

But may I be eligible for a reporting bonus? My report was valid and initially had no connection with the other tasks mentioned above.
