Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

• Reply text is not aligned to emoji on edit message (aligned properly without edit)

What is the root cause of that problem?

• The root cause is we have not adjusted styling if we have edit mode (draftMessage) on and we need to adjust styling for margin-left same as we did on the ReportActionItemReactions

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

• On ReportActionItem.js on we need to wrap with a <ReportActionItemThread> with the same <View> with styling used of <ReportActionItemReactions> which is this.props.draftMessage ? styles.chatItemReactionsDraftRight : {}

• We can also pass draft props to <ReportActionItemThread> and handle style there

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Reply text is not correctly aligned to the reaction emoji

What is the root cause of that problem?

Currently the ReportActionItemThread component has maxWidth of 100% which will fill the entire width, initially when the avatar on the ReportItem is visible it is aligned to the emoji, but when we edit the message the avatar will not be visible then the ReportActionItemThread will take the whole width

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should wrap the ReportActionItemThread component with <View style={this.props.draftMessage ? styles.chatItemReactionsDraftRight : {}}> to align the component correctly when the user is editing the message.

we are currently using this for ReportActionItemReactions here:

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/b10f19d7394738609e69a0a154be7220025972cf/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionItem.js#L283

Additionally instead of repeating the code we can wrap both components with the view and put the conditions inside like this

Result:

• A discussion in #expensify-bugs has been started about whether any other steps should be taken (e.g. updating the PR review checklist) in order to catch this type of bug sooner. Link to discussion: This is a visual bug, I don't think there is an additional discussion needed

• Determine if we should create a regression test for this bug. Is it easy to test for this bug? Yes Is the bug related to an important user flow? Yes Is it an impactful bug? No It's not an impactful bug, but it's one of the most user-facing pages of the app and it's very easy to test, so I think regression test is worth having here.
