Proposal

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

When we increase device font size, the Next Step text is partially visible because it's really big.

What is the root cause of that problem?

In the Next Step font size dynamically increases as we increase the system font size. We actually use a textMicroBold style for the Next Step text and the max font size for it is 17.

App/src/components/MoneyReportHeaderStatusBar.tsx

Line 27 in d5f5856

<Text style={[styles.textLabel, styles.textMicroBold]}>{translate(nextStep.title === CONST.NEXT_STEP.FINISHED ? 'iou.finished' : 'iou.nextStep')}</Text>

App/src/styles/index.ts

Lines 375 to 379 in d5f5856

	textMicroBold: {
	color: theme.text,
	fontWeight: fontWeightBold,
	fontFamily: fontFamily.EXP_NEUE_BOLD,
	fontSize: variables.fontSizeSmall,

App/src/styles/variables.ts

Line 49 in d5f5856

fontSizeSmall: getValueUsingPixelRatio(11, 17),

But we use RN Text component to render the Next Step, not our custom Text. Our custom text disable the system font scaling and handle it manually.

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

Replace RN Text with our custom Text component. However, it still can't find the width of the badge.

We can either create a static font size specifically for the Next Step or set a bigger max width and/or max height or dynamic width and height for the Next Step badge (using getValueUsingPixelRatio).

@johncschuster, @c3024 Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...

@c3024 can you review the proposal above? Is it sufficient, or should we keep an eye out for more?
