In fact, @FitseTLT for #52894. One PR is merged, then there's another PR with exactly the same title that's not merged. What's going on there, and is that going to fix this? CC: @mountiny

@FitseTLT original solution did not work on desktop and one other platform so thats why there is one more fix

[trjExpensify]

Cool, would be helpful to name the PRs a bit differently 😅

That said, this bug above is on web production. I don't need to refresh or close/reopen etc. Is that PR going to fix it?

[mountiny]

I am not sure, @FitseTLT @rayane-djouah Are you able to reproduce based on the instructions from the OP?

[FitseTLT]

yeah this will solved by the recent PR @mountiny Let's just hold this for it. And also @mountiny bump for your review on that PR. Thx

[trjExpensify]

I think we need to CP that to staging to test and hopefully go with today's app deploy to production. This is borderline a fire in my mind, creating two workspaces for every sign-up is rough.

[mountiny]

CPed the PR

Linking for posterity: #53093

We can probably close this now.
