I can't reproduce reliably (but that's the same for Matt and Flo) however I think this is annoying enough that we should fix

[adelekennedy]

@fedirjh do you think this can be an external issue?

[fedirjh]

do you think this can be an external issue?

@adelekennedy Yes, it's external. However, I am unable to reproduce it.

[adelekennedy]

same - however both Flo and Matt are able to reproduce intermittently so I think it's worth it to fix as it's a pretty frustrating one

@m-natarajan @flodnv Can you add the correct video showing the bug?

[MrMuzyk]

I am Michał from Callstack - expert contributor group. I’d like to work on this job.

[MrMuzyk]

@m-natarajan I've tried multiple times but I couldn't reproduce this issue. Am I missing something?

39631_no_repro.mp4

[flodnv]

It's hard because I only encounter this bug like 15% of the time when switching chats. Ah, got it, desktop version v1.4.60-13.

Here's what I did:

1. Quit and restart desktop app
2. Change chat with the mouse (click on another chat in the LHN)
3. Change chat with chat switcher, all using the keyboard (note another bug observed here, the original text I typed disappeared on its own, I'll make sure this gets reported as well)
4. Hit enter to go to other chat
5. Observe that I am still in the same chat

Screen.Recording.2024-04-08.at.10.47.45.AM.mov

I was able to reproduce 3 times in a row using these exact test steps.

[adelekennedy]

waiting for proposals

[MrMuzyk]

Unfortunately Im still unable to reproduce that even with the updated steps (see the video). Recording was done on latest main. Maybe it's something related to this particular account, I'm not sure :(

39237-cant-repro.mp4

[adelekennedy]

oof - Both @flodnv and @mallenexpensify can reliably reproduce, but I can't (even with the updated instructions as well) In this case @MrMuzyk how would you move forward? If it's account specific is there a way for us to mimic those account conditions?

[melvin-bot]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[MrMuzyk]

It's hard for me to tell what exactly about their accounts might be so special that causes this. There is also a possibility that there is something extra that has to happen before reproduction steps.

One of the options to proceed further with this is to ask some more people to try and reproduce that.

hey guys, since the PR that fix both this issue and #42558, and even though they shared the solution, I had posted 2 proposals for those 2 issues (with clear explanation of the root cause and solutions for each respective issue), should I receive the bounty of this issue as well? Thanks all!

[mallenexpensify]

@dominictb , possibly. This is def an edge case cuz it doesn't appear the root causes were the same for each.
Did you have to do additional work on the PR so that both issues would be fixed? If so, that could be used as justifcation (increased scope of work).

@fedirjh are you due compensation, it looks like @eh2077 reviewed the PR.

[dominictb]

Did you have to do additional work on the PR so that both issues would be fixed

@mallenexpensify, the PR: #43505 is for the #42558. However, that PR is only part 1 of my proposal for this issu here #39631 (comment), and I also have an optional second part. So I think let's unhold this issue and let's @fedirjh review it to see if I need to implement the second part?

However, it seems to me once #43505 is merged, this issue will solve itself on the latest version. If @fedirjh decides that's the case, maybe another thing to consider if we decide to close this issue to increase the bounty of #42558 to $1000, as it was also created long time ago and nobody looked into that until me?

I was unable to reproduce now on staging. @fedirjh can you attempt reproduction?

@dominictb , for compensation, I think, at least, $1k is fair, since that's the price of this job and your PR fixed it. Since the PR #43505, also intentionally fixed another bug (ie. it wasn't random that it happened), I don't see why you wouldn't be due comp there too. (or... put another way, one PR fixed two issues but the work in the PR was more than if you only created it to fix one bug).

[dominictb]

@mallenexpensify got it! Thanks for the input! I guess when things are due, I'll ping both issues then.

Do I need to be assigned here first?

@mallenexpensify I think I am not eligible for payment in this issue.

Thanks @fedirjh , it looks like you didn't review the PR nor any proposals here.

@dominictb I've been running into an issue where, after typing cmd+k then typing a user's name, I need to hit enter twice to open the chat. Might that be related here? (sidenote: I'm also stuck a couple versions back on desktop
