@johncschuster Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...

[johncschuster]

@daraksha-dk I tried reproducing this behavior on a Google Pixel 7 (via browserstack) and was unable to get the first character to flicker. Can you help me dial in the reproduction steps a bit more?

[johncschuster]

from @daraksha-dk (thank you!)

I can reproduce this consistently on Pixel 3a and 4a.
Here are the steps & a video for the same.
Open the app
Go to Setting
Go to Security
Click on close account
Write a single character

[johncschuster]

Ok, I've reproduced the behavior using a Pixel 3a (v. 1.2.73-1). To me, it seems more like the first letter is "jumping" ever so slightly, but I do agree that the first letter is behaving differently than all following letters in the input field.

@johncschuster @techievivek this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[techievivek]

Will look into it by today.

I can reproduce this on my OnePlus 7T, and this can be worked externally.

Posted in Slack that we're looking for proposals

[techievivek]

Not overdue, we are still looking for proposals here. @johncschuster should we update the reward amount here to get more eyes?
