Proposal

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

Pressing Copy to clipboard, Copy link, Download, or Mark as unread from the Mini context menu does not refocus the Composer, but Composer is refocused when pressed from the context menu opened from a long press

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are focusing the composer on the above actions if we press from the Context menu and we are doing nothing if we press from the mini menu
here is the condition for checking if the press is from the popover or not and if the press is from the context menu then call the ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus

App/src/pages/home/report/ContextMenu/ContextMenuActions.js

Lines 102 to 104 in c917c44

	if (closePopover) {
	hideContextMenu(true, ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus);
	}

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

We need to add an else condition to Copy to clipboard, Copy link, Download, and Mark as unread(or any other actions) press, where we will call ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus() if it is not the from Popover, it means mini context menu

App/src/pages/home/report/ContextMenu/ContextMenuActions.js

Line 45 in c917c44

const isMini = !closePopover;

here need to add else and all other presses like Copy to clipboard, Copy link, and Mark as unread

App/src/pages/home/report/ContextMenu/ContextMenuActions.js

Lines 102 to 104 in c917c44

	if (closePopover) {
	hideContextMenu(true, ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus);
	}

  } else {
    ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus()
  }

Proposal

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

Composer field must be focused, when user clicks on one of three actions(copy clipboard, copy link and mark message as new) in the popup element(MiniReportActionContextMenu component) that appears in the top right corner when a message is hovered.

What is the root cause of that problem?

All three actions do NOT implement methods for focusing the composer when actions are called from the MiniReportActionContextMenu component.
In their onPress handlers, there is a method called hideContextMenu but it is not used in case of the MiniReportActionContextMenu which is our case. hideContextMenu is functional only for the ReportActionContextMenu(the popup that appears with the right click on an action).

App/src/pages/home/report/ContextMenu/ContextMenuActions.js

Line 192 in 035783a

hideContextMenu(true, ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus);

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

The first step is easy: we need to focus the composer manually when actions are triggered from the MiniReportActionContextMenu component. I will implement such function:

function hideAllContextMenus(isMini) {
    if (isMini) {
        ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus();
        return;
    }

    hideContextMenu(true, ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus);
}

and I will call it in onPress methods for all three actions, like so:

onPress: (closePopover, {reportAction, selection}) => {
	//...
	hideAllContextMenus(!closePopover);
}

But then I start getting such effect: compose field is focused but the click animation is broken:

11.mov

Each action in the view is wrapped in a Hoverable HOC component.

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionItem.js

Lines 427 to 428 in 035783a

	<Hoverable disabled={Boolean(props.draftMessage)}>
	{(hovered) => (

I noticed that when I call the ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus() method, the onBlur method in the Hoverable is triggered and the hover state is set to false for a moment. This triggers rerender in ContextMenuItem component and completion animation seems to be broken.

I propose to ignore state changes in Hoverable component in onBlur method(and ONLY this method) if the the composer element is clicked.

The current onBlur method in Hoverable component looks like this:

App/src/components/Hoverable/index.js

Lines 109 to 117 in 035783a

	onBlur: (el) => {
	if (!this.wrapperView.contains(el.relatedTarget)) {
	this.setIsHovered(false);
	}
	if (_.isFunction(child.props.onBlur)) {
	child.props.onBlur(el);
	}
	},

This is the new onBlur method. Here I check if I am allowed to ignore hover state change for the element if this.props.ignoreBlurForElement prop allows it:

onBlur: (el) => {
    if (!this.wrapperView.contains(el.relatedTarget)) {
        if (!this.props.ignoreBlurForElement || !this.props.ignoreBlurForElement(el.relatedTarget)) {
            this.setIsHovered(false);
        }
    }

    if (_.isFunction(child.props.onBlur)) {
        child.props.onBlur(el);
    }
}

And this is how the prop is passed in the Hoverable component in the file ReportActionitem.js.
The ignoreBlurForElement returns true if the element that user clicked on is the composer.

<Hoverable
  ...
  ignoreBlurForElement={(el) => el === lodashGet(ReportActionComposeFocusManager, 'composerRef.current')}>
...

This video is the end result. Notice that completion animation goes till the end and composer field is focused immediately after the click.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

In ContextMenuActions.js I could call ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus() for MiniReportActionContextMenu component WITH a certain delay. I could make a setTimeout and wait for 1800ms(duration of the completion state animation) and only then shoot the ReportActionComposeFocusManager.focus() action. In this way the composer will be focused only after 1800ms.
The initial solution is a bit harder but much cleaner.

[youssef-lr]

@0xmiroslav ^

[0xmiros]

@petromoldovan we don't recommend setTimeout unless it's the only solution. Still open for better proposals.

[the-mold]

@0xmiroslav I also do not recommend to set the setTimeout. It was just an alternative to emphasise how much better the main proposal is. What do you think about my main proposal?
