I can reproduce the issue on staging. I think we had another blocker related to deleting messages, going to check if it's coming from that.

So far what I can tell is that reportIDRef.current on this line is 0. It's working fine on main though, so there might have been another PR merged recently that fixes this 👀

I'm tempted to roll out the deploy with this bug considering that:

• we can't revert [CP Staging] Revert "Remove withNavigationFallback.js HOC" #29844, or it will reintroduce the crash from [HOLD for payment 2023-10-27] [HOLD for payment 2023-10-25] [$250] Chat - Deleting message in chat causes black screen #29839
• I can't reproduce the issue on main, so it should be fixed on the next staging version
• it only happens on desktop and web, and you can still delete a message by clicking the 🗑️ icon instead, so there's a straightforward workaround

This is fixed on staging and production now.
