@jliexpensify @aimane-chnaif this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

Still reproducible, but we've deprioritised #VSB so lets close for now.

It seems not a bug. In android, when you type some words and then swipe, placeholder box moves as user swipe, which is the same with mweb.
