Not a backend issue.

I think this is related to #46796, but I don't think it is worth blocking on this.

Removing the deploy blocker label because this is an edge case and typing in the composer shows up the expand button again.

[hannojg]

Okay, will work on a fix today!

@kirillzyusko is helping with this ticket!

[kirillzyusko]

Yep, feel free to assign it to me!

I prepared a fix #47449

But since we updated RN to the latest version (0.75) earlier - this bug is not reproducible anymore:

Screen.Recording.2024-08-29.at.18.42.09.mov

@rlinoz @hannojg @lanitochka17 what are the next steps then? Should we re-test this issue on latest main and if it's not reproducible, then close the issue and close the PR?

[hannojg]

Should we re-test this issue on latest main and if it's not reproducible, then close the issue and close the PR?

Yes, that sounds right!

[rlinoz]

Yep, just tested it in the latest app version and it works fine, let's close this one.

Thanks!
