    • Android / native
    • Android / Chrome
    • iOS / native
    • iOS / Safari
    • MacOS / Chrome / Safari
    • MacOS / Desktop

    • The file is named correctly
    • The component has a clear name that is non-ambiguous and the purpose of the component can be inferred from the name alone
    • The only data being stored in the state is data necessary for rendering and nothing else
    • For Class Components, any internal methods passed to components event handlers are bound to this properly so there are no scoping issues (i.e. for onClick={this.submit} the method this.submit should be bound to this in the constructor)
    • Any internal methods bound to this are necessary to be bound (i.e. avoid this.submit = this.submit.bind(this); if this.submit is never passed to a component event handler like onClick)
    • All JSX used for rendering exists in the render method
    • The component has the minimum amount of code necessary for its purpose, and it is broken down into smaller components in order to separate concerns and functions
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(themeColors.componentBG))
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.
  • I have checked off every checkbox in the PR author checklist, including those that don't apply to this PR.

@pubudu-ranasinghe Why is this necessary? We discourage the use of platform dependent code unless it is absolutely necessary.

This issue doesn't happen on native apps. And providing inline-block to RN styles apparently throws an error. So needed to contain it only to desktop and web.

What is the error? If it is not supported by react-native, we better look for other solutions.

It says it should be one of the supported values flex or none. Will look into more solutions.

Apologies for the delay. I have been spending a lot of time and exploring several solutions but have not yet arrived at a final one. Unfortunately, this issue is proving difficult to fix in a platform-independent manner.

The issue only occurs in Chrome, affecting the web, mobile Chrome, and desktop app. This is due to a bug in Chrome that affects how it handles line-through on descendant elements with varying font sizes. To demonstrate this, I have created a fiddle here, which shows the difference when opened in Chrome and Safari.

Chrome Safari
Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 18 58 43 Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 18 59 24

When a text decoration is applied to an element, it is propagated to descendant elements. In Chrome, if the descendant font sizes are different, as is the case with the message and edited label in Expensify, the line is not rendered properly. To fix this, we need to prevent the text decoration from propagating to descendants and apply its own line-through. We can do this by making the child element for the edited label an inline-block element as suggested here.

However, React Native does not recognize inline-block as a valid property, throwing an error. Therefore, we can only apply this fix behind platform dependant condition. I have explored other options such as wrapping the edited label and message themselves with Views and playing around with flex display. However, changing the element structure affects how messages are rendered in different platforms, which is not ideal and prone to many regression bugs.

Please note that the current state of the PR only shows experimental changes and not the original solution with inline-block. This commit displays the original platform dependant fix.

In my opinion, setting inline-block with platform-specific code is the best solution. However, if there are better ideas in the wider community, I wouldn't mind reopening the issue and handing it over to a different proposal.

No worries @pubudu-ranasinghe.

In my opinion, setting inline-block with platform-specific code is the best solution.

@pubudu-ranasinghe Let's go with the solution you suggested but for those styles, instead of getPlatform() can we use something like https://github.com/Expensify/App/tree/main/src/styles/getContextMenuItemStyles where index.js and index.native.js are used to handle platform dependent code.

@pubudu-ranasinghe

Contributor Author

@sobitneupane there was some change in main branch which introduced editedLabelStyles. This is similar to what you suggested with index.js and index.native.js. I've used the same style with some additional fixes, and the code is now much simpler than before. Please take a look at the PR and let me know if you have any feedback. I've updated the PR description with new screenshots that show a side-by-side comparison.

Additionally, this PR addresses the #18042 defect which I reported earlier but has increased in scope due to a recent change in main.

Ollyws commented May 4, 2023

This merge conflict is most likely due to my PR getting reverted. Unfortunately @pubudu-ranasinghe's latest changes are relying on changes from my PR. Hopefully we can get it back on staging asap as it was a very easy-to-solve problem.

@pubudu-ranasinghe

Contributor Author

@sobitneupane some of the changes that this PR relied on has been reverted back. I believe this code will be added back as the deploy blocker was not related to those changes as mentioned by @Ollyws. Once the main branch is updated we should be good to merge this. More discussion at #15194
