Hey! I’m Błażej Kustra from Software Mansion, this regression comes from my #56490 so I'd like to work on it 👀

[melvin-bot]

@amyevans, @bfitzexpensify, @blazejkustra Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[amyevans]

How's this coming along @blazejkustra?

[blazejkustra]

This week I'm focusing on side pane bugs with Adam from SWM, will keep you posted!

[blazejkustra]

It is very connected to the other issue for android.

Help pane isn't technically a screen so you can't dismiss it with a back button and swipe gesture. I need to check what we can do with this, will update tomorrow.

[blazejkustra]

Update: I opened a draft PR for this 🚀

[amyevans]

This issue is part of some regressions during the implementation of Help Panel. I think we can follow the payment on the original issues.

Sounds good, I believe we're set to close then!
