Proposal

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

Contextual menu does not close automatically when selecting delete, edit comment & reply in thread options When delete comment option is selected, the action menu does not close & the confirmation modal is displayed behind the action menu. Same issue happens when selecting reply in thread & edit comment options. User has to tap anywhere outside to close the menu

What is the root cause of that problem?

This comes from https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/52021

We removed the logic to close the context menu here

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/f77087f02a42e17e7da7420528cc51b54003ca61/src/pages/home/report/ContextMenu/ReportActionContextMenu.ts#L66-L68

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

We should bring this back and we can only hide the context menu if we're in small screen width

if (!shouldDelay) { 
     contextMenuRef.current.hideContextMenu(onHideCallback);
     return; 
}
