I can invite internal Expensify team members, but might be best to ask @mrousavy or someone from your team for an invite @hannojg! (I think @chrispader was just added last month)

[hannojg]

Hey, i just joined the React Contributors react discord - are you able to add me into the according channels? Discord username is hannojg

[AndrewGable]

I don't think I can add you, but #contributors-hub might be the best channel to discuss?

[mrousavy]

Already invited you hanno.

Update: My solution was judged as "makes sense" from two core contributors. It was forwarded to some other people for a final pass, so i am confident that the solution will be used moving forward. However, i just noticed that the fix doesn't seem to work in the use-case in expensify. Its very likely because the input in expensify is a controlled one. I am now investigating how to bring the fix to the controlled text input (the fix itself should be similar/the same)

Okay, i finally have a PR up in react-native:

• https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/46973

Will update our PR shortly!

[hannojg]

Okay, the PR is updated. However, i noticed that my patch doesn't work 100% when bridgeless mode is turned off. As we are working on turning that on (and looks like we are close), I'd like to take this on hold for:

• https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/48160

Update: bridgeless support was merged, but was deactivated on android again. Lets put this on hold for this PR where we aim to reactivate bridgeless mode for android:

• https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/51475
