[$500] Document reproducible steps for "Characters missing when typing message in compose box" #34467

Closed

Description

@mallenexpensify

Coming from here in #expensify-open-source

Occasionally and apparently randomly, when typing in the compose box on NewDot, characters will disappear or be removed.

I've tried to document steps that can be reliably reproduced with no luck. If you're able to, post them and we'll compensate $250.

If needed, comment in here or on the linked Slack thread above.

    @getusha I don't think your help is needed her so I've unassigned. If we need a C+ I'll add you back in.

    Hi, @mallenexpensify

    I've identified the steps to replicate a bug related to keystrokes in the composer, happens when attempting to type while the composer is not focused. In the initial video, I attempted to type the word 'fight,' but it omitted the 'i' letter. This issue is not limited to a particular letter; it occurred for me with the second letter as well. It appears to be a bug associated with typing when the composer is not in focus."

    1. Lose focus on the composer
    2. Try typing fast and notice
    3. you need to type fast

    Another issue related to this and I think it has the same root cause

    steps to reproduce

    1. Lose focus on the composer
    2. write only one letter

    result
    the letter will appear twice.
    and if you noticed immediately after typing the letter it appears twice for a moment then disappear and then it appears twice

    Here is my reproduction step. No need to type fast.

    One

    1. Open report, and make sure the composer is focused and the text pointer blinking
    2. Press Tab, the focus will be on the emoji icon
    3. Type any character e.g. P

    Two

    1. Open report, and make sure the composer is focused and the text pointer blinking
    2. Press Tab twice, the focus will be on the arrow icon
    3. Type any character e.g. P

    this is the second issue in my comment and I didn't say you have to type fast in this
    you don't have to press tab you just lose the focus on the composer by doing this. you did the same as my second issue

    Yes, I think the reproduction has been identified really well. I like your plan of action to move forward.

    @jeremy-croff - 25% provided working alternative reproduction steps #34467 (comment), which can be helpful latter.

    Personally.. I'd like to thank everyone here. This issue has been hella frustrating for me for many weeks. Also, I'm planning to implement a process for how to create 'document reproducible steps' issues in the future, since we have quite a few.
