The issue doesn’t seem to reproduce for me either. @clarajones-expensify , are you able to repro this issue?

[clarajones-expensify]

I also can't repro - the whispers work as expected for me

[clarajones-expensify]

Since 3 people can't reproduce, I am going to go ahead and close this out. But, feel free to reopen if anyone in the future is able to reproduce.
