@kbecciv @dhanashree-sawant -- how do I simulate a "weaker connection" so that I can try and reproduce this?

[dhanashree-sawant]

Hi @NicMendonca , at my end, the connection is actually weak at times, not sure how you can reproduce on android chrome at your end. It is also visible at times in force offline mode if that helps.

[NicMendonca]

Okay, I'll try on offline mode!

[NicMendonca]

@dhanashree-sawant I can't reproduce this on offline mode 😞 Is there a scenario where this is reliably happening?

[NicMendonca]

assigning @Christinadobrzyn to watch over this while I am OOO!

[dhanashree-sawant]

Hi @NicMendonca , sorry I don't know any other reliable way to reproduce it

[Christinadobrzyn]

I found a few other GHs related to "flickering" GHs/job, I wonder if either of these GHs 1 or 2 are linked to the same issue? Or if this falls under our Fabric Architeture project?

Asking the team for some guidance here https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C049HHMV9SM/p1680800397672419?thread_ts=1680287101.491289&cid=C049HHMV9SM

I think I am able to replicate this flickering but it's not as visible as what @dhanashree-sawant can see.

[Christinadobrzyn]

Bumping again - https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01SKUP7QR0/p1680886208947489

[Christinadobrzyn]

Follow up from BZ eng - this isn't related to the Fabric project so I think we should move forward with a fix for this. Going to add the External!

[Christinadobrzyn]

@s77rt or @Puneet-here could you just double-check that this issue wouldn't be fixed by #16082

[s77rt]

@Christinadobrzyn The flicker issue seen here #16832 (comment) will be fixed. But the issue reported in OP looks different i.e. LHN is briefly shown and flickers. Can you reproduce that issue?

[cristipaval]

Still on hold.

[NicMendonca]

still holding: #11768

[NicMendonca]

@cristipaval just to confirm, we're still holding yeah?

[cristipaval]

yes, still on hold

[cristipaval]

we're close, but still on hold

[cristipaval]

Almost there, I think navigation reboot is under testing atm.

[cristipaval]

This is off hold now.

[cristipaval]

Let's see if this is still reproducible

[cristipaval]

I can't reproduce it with the latest dev.
@s77rt @NicMendonca @0xmiroslav Could you also please try on your end?

[0xmiros]

I am not able to reproduce on any env - dev/staging/production

[cristipaval]

Alright then, I am not sure what payments should be made for this one, so I won't close this one yet.
On you @NicMendonca.
Thanks!

[s77rt]

Not reproducible from my end either
