Proposal

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

The removed member system message shows Hidden.

What is the root cause of that problem?

When we invite an unknown user, we generate a random accountID for that user and if we add and delete it while offline, we send the random accountID to the delete request. The BE will eventually invite the user and return a newly created accountID for that user. We basically trying to delete the random accountID that doesn't exist on the BE, so the new member will show again on the list and the system message show Hidden because personal detail data for the random accountID is already cleared.

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

We need to disable the item when it's an optimistic user, just like we did in https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/47686. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/c885f96f66f4c552308fafb81b6251daf1fb4136/src/pages/RoomMembersPage.tsx#L183-L187

|| details.isOptimisticPersonalDetail

We can apply the same fix on other pages if exist.
