@lanitochka17, can this be consistently reproduced?

[Gonals]

Seems to be frontend, so removing Web-E blocker

[MarioExpensify]

Checking frontend

[MarioExpensify]

I was able to reproduce it in staging, trying to debug and check latest commits to find out what happened

[MarioExpensify]

As this seem to be an edge case (multiple logins being switched through web and desktop apps) caused by a frontend change, I'll investigate it further and take action accordingly. Meanwhile I'm removing the DeployBlocker for the app.

[MarioExpensify]

Still looking into this

[MarioExpensify]

Making this external.

I cannot reproduce this issue
@rayane-djouah Did you still able to reproduce this issue? Thanks

[rayane-djouah]

Let me try reproducing it once more

[melvin-bot]

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

[MarioExpensify]

@rayane-djouah let us know if this still happens, if not I'll close the issue.

[mvtglobally]

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)

[MarioExpensify]

Changing it to weekly, let's reevaluate next week and if we still can't reproduce we'll close this. Thanks @mvtglobally

[NJ-2020]

[MarioExpensify]

Thanks @NJ-2020, I tried the same steps as you documented and now I have no luck trying to reproduce. It seems a pretty specific sequence that is causing the issue. @RachCHopkins do you have any thoughts on this issue?

[RachCHopkins]

@MarioExpensify I have none. I think if we can't repro it consistently let's close it.

[MarioExpensify]

Thanks for your input @RachCHopkins, I'll close it and we may reopen if needed. I just tried it again (both the original post and @NJ-2020) with no luck.
