@marcaaron FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

[marcaaron]

This looks pretty unexpected to me. Asked QA if it's consistently reproducible. Gonna make it External to get some eyes.

I don't think this is related to backend, removing the DeployBlocker tag

My mistake - I was looking at the wrong Slack thread. Here's the correct thread: https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C9YU7BX5M/p1720658194863959.

QA has not yet confirmed whether this is consistently reproducible.

Bumped for a QA update

[Julesssss]

This is still consistently reproducable (QA test)
