This issue look like can not reproduce on the latest main due to context menu doesn't show delete option

@suneox I think you need to turn off the wifi before deleting the expense and if it still didn't work i think you can try using staging server

[NJ-2020]

Yes issue are not reproducible from both non-staging and staging server

[tsa321]

To test, should set the USE_REACT_STRICT_MODE to false to display the context menu properly. I can reproduce the crash issue in main.

[chiragsalian]

Given this is an edge case and we're having a bit of a difficult time solving this immediately, we'll be demoting it to daily, removing blocker and requesting help with this.

cc @kirillzyusko can you comment here so you can be assigned?

[kirillzyusko]

Sure, feel free to assign this on me 🙌

[suneox]

@kirillzyusko will work on this issue, so I’d like to self-unassign.​

Few things that I spotted:

• the crash happens because we are trying to unmount a component that already has been unmounted;
• the component that triggers a crash is Paragraph (i. e. Text)
• if I remove all Text elements in MoneyRequestPreviewContent component then crash goes away;
• if I clean-up the logic in OfflineWithFeedback:

<View style={style}>
    {!hideChildren && (
        children
    )}
    {shouldShowErrorMessages && (
        <ErrorMessageRow
            errors={errors}
            errorRowStyles={errorRowStyles}
            onClose={onClose}
            canDismissError={canDismissError}
        />
    )}
</View>

then crash also goes away.

I think the problem is hidden somewhere in this code:

<View
    style={[needsOpacity ? styles.offlineFeedback.pending : {}, contentContainerStyle]}
    needsOffscreenAlphaCompositing={shouldRenderOffscreen ? needsOpacity && needsOffscreenAlphaCompositing : undefined}
>

Because as soon as I remove it the crash is not happening anymore.

I'll continue my investigation tomorrow and hopefully will provide a fix!
