@michaelhaxhiu Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[michaelhaxhiu]

This is a little bit confusing and I will need input from a C+ or Engineer on the expected behavior here.

https://recordit.co/F1uorCO0ij

I tried to reproduce it here and noticed that we deleted/removed more than just the deleted thread response, which looks like the bug report made. But I want to confirm this behavior is wrong or incorrect. Assigning external to get a hand with this step!

I think this is unusual case and users will most likely not face this.
But in case regression test is still needed:

Regression Test Proposal

1. Navigate to any chat
2. Send message A and reply in thread

4. Send message C

[puneetlath]

Yup looks good, agree we should also make the internal changes here

@thienlnam @abekkala is this being handled somewhere?

[thienlnam]

Good question, I don't remember following up with a change here.

It looks like the last conversation about that happened here https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C049HHMV9SM/p1694502825117099, @chiragsalian do you happen to remember if we made a change here?

[thienlnam]

Oh, Chirag is on parental leave. Checking the BE code to see if we ended up excluding deleted parent actions from childVisibleActionCount

[thienlnam]

It doesn't look like we've added it for ADD_COMMENT reportActions. Created an internal issue to keep track of that change
