Proposal

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

Expense page composer loses bottom margin when going offline

What is the root cause of that problem?

if isOffline we set the minHeight to 0 here

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportFooter.tsx

Line 101 in 66ebb3e

const chatFooterStyles = {...styles.chatFooter, minHeight: !isOffline ? CONST.CHAT_FOOTER_MIN_HEIGHT : 0};

And we no longer show the OfflineIndicator here since we change the condition from !isSmallScreenWidth to !shouldUseNarrowLayout on this PR

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportFooter.tsx

Lines 194 to 196 in 66ebb3e

	{!shouldUseNarrowLayout && (
	<View style={styles.offlineIndicatorRow}>{shouldHideComposer && <OfflineIndicator containerStyles={[styles.chatItemComposeSecondaryRow]} />}</View>
	)}

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

set the minHeight to 0 only if isOffline && !shouldUseNarrowLayout

const chatFooterStyles = {...styles.chatFooter, minHeight: isOffline && !shouldUseNarrowLayout ? 0 : CONST.CHAT_FOOTER_MIN_HEIGHT};

Proposal

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

Composer bottom spacing is gone when turn offline in report RHP page.

What is the root cause of that problem?

This happens after we replace isSmallScreenWidth usage with shouldUseNarrowLayout.

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/ReportActionCompose.tsx

Lines 496 to 504 in 3722b22

	<View
	style={[
	styles.flexRow,
	styles.justifyContentBetween,
	styles.alignItemsCenter,
	(!shouldUseNarrowLayout || (shouldUseNarrowLayout && !isOffline)) && styles.chatItemComposeSecondaryRow,
	]}
	>
	{!shouldUseNarrowLayout && <OfflineIndicator containerStyles={[styles.chatItemComposeSecondaryRow]} />}

The chatItemComposeSecondaryRow style contains the spacing. shouldUseNarrowLayout is true in RHP and when we go offline, both of the conditions become false, so the spacing is gone.

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

Use the previous condition by relying on isSmallScreenWidth.

(!isSmallScreenWidth || (isSmallScreenWidth && !isOffline)) && styles.chatItemComposeSecondaryRow,

The reason we have this style in composer is that in ScreenWrapper, we have an offline indicator that is shown only on a small screen. However, we still want to show the offline indicator for the report screen, whether large or small screen, because it's the central screen.

!isSmallScreenWidth makes sure the spacing is always available on the large screen. (isSmallScreenWidth && !isOffline) allows the spacing to show on the small screen, but only when online (if we show it while offline too, then there will be extra space from the ScreenWrapper offline indicator).

Proposal

Problem Description

There is an issue in the project where the container intended to display the online/offline status is not showing correctly. Specifically, instead of indicating the offline status, the container is being displayed as none.

Issue

There is no margin defined.
Instead of showing the status as offline, the container is being displayed as none.

Solution

The issue can be resolved by ensuring the container correctly shows the online/offline status.

Current Implementation

The relevant div element in the ReportActionCompose.tsx file is structured as follows:

<div data-element="View" data-source-file="ReportActionCompose.tsx" class="css-175oi2r" style="flex-direction: row; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; height: 15px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;"></div>

[carlosmiceli]

How are we looking here @mananjadhav ?

[mananjadhav]

Based on the comment here and the review of the proposals I still feel we should use isSmallScreenWidth. Hence @bernhardoj's proposal looks good to me.

But @bernhardoj as mentioned please import it from useResponsiveLayout and not useWindowDimensions.

[carlosmiceli]

Let's wait for @bernhardoj to confirm and I'll assign, thanks @mananjadhav :)

[bernhardoj]

please import it from useResponsiveLayout and not useWindowDimensions.

useResponsiveLayout is already imported into the file, so we will use it.

[melvin-bot]

@carlosmiceli, @mananjadhav, @isabelastisser Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[carlosmiceli]

Should I assign you @bernhardoj ?

[bernhardoj]

Yes, please

[isabelastisser]

It looks like PR was not merged yet. Waiting!

[mananjadhav]

This was deployed to production 5 days ago. This should be ready for payout by 09/06.

[isabelastisser]

Thanks for the update!

[mananjadhav]

We linked the offending PR here but this is more of an edge case. We still use the isSmallScreenWidth.

Also I think we don't need a regression test for this one. @carlosmiceli wdyt?

@isabelastisser This is ready for payout. Can you please post a payout summary for this one?

[carlosmiceli]

@mananjadhav Yeah, no need for regression test here!
