Proposal

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

The LHN navigation items (MenuItem) need to have a height of 52px instead of 56px.

What is the root cause of that problem?

This is a straightforward enhancement.

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

We just need to update the sectionMenuItem height from 56px to 52px, which will resolve the issue for Workspaces and Settings and Search nav for web. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/219707fd932242de5ed1d5dc4a63967df007be11/src/styles/index.ts#L2892-L2895

Screenshots showing how the 52px height will look are provided below.

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @s77rt (External)

[s77rt]

@jayeshmangwani Thanks for the proposal.

However, to fix this height for Search, we also need to handle the FocusableMenuItem

Can you please elaborate what part of the Search page this is needed for?

[jayeshmangwani]

@s77rt If you inspect the Dropdown menu item height on mobile, you’ll notice it's set to 64px instead of 56px. On the web, the height works fine(56px).

To address this issue on mobile, I suggest passing the wrapperStyle prop. The wrapperStyle should be:

wrapperStyle={{
    alignItems: 'center',
    height: styles.sectionMenuItem.height
}}

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/66cf824036a51183d73dab2cc621901e43fe3196/src/components/FocusableMenuItem.tsx#L14-L17

[s77rt]

Ah the popover, no I think that should remain untouched

[jayeshmangwani]

I think it should be 56px (after fixing this issue, it should be 52px), as the same option on the web currently has a height of 56px.

[jayeshmangwani]

Or, we could adjust the height of the menu item specifically for the Search dropdown here.

[s77rt]

We need to change the height only for the LHN items. On small screens we will render the popover menu, nothing to change there

[jayeshmangwani]

Alright, I'll go ahead and remove that part from the proposal.

[rafecolton]

@shawnborton can you please clarify if the popover height should change too?

@jayeshmangwani I'm assigning you, but let's wait to get this merged until we get clarification from Shawn if the popover is in scope too

[rafecolton]

Removing and re-adding to try to re-trigger the upwork automation

[jayeshmangwani]

@rafecolton Upwork automation might not trigger here because both s77rt and I will be paid via NewDot

[shawnborton]

No need to change the popover option row item height, let's first just start with the LHN items. Thanks!
