Proposal

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

3 dot workspace menu options misaligned to left side after submitting expense in WS chat

What is the root cause of that problem?

we are calculating the position of the popover here

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspacesListRow.tsx

Lines 171 to 182 in 4750e38

	onLayout={(e: LayoutChangeEvent) => {
	if (shouldUseNarrowLayout) {
	return;
	}
	const target = e.target || (e as LayoutChangeEventWithTarget).nativeEvent.target;
	target?.measureInWindow((x, y, width) => {
	setThreeDotsMenuPosition({
	horizontal: x + width,
	vertical: y,
	});
	});
	}}

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

We should use InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions to make sure we calculate correctly after all interactions are done

          InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions(() => {
              const target = e.target || (e as LayoutChangeEventWithTarget).nativeEvent.target; 
              target?.measureInWindow((x, y, width) => { 
                  setThreeDotsMenuPosition({ 
                      horizontal: x + width, 
                      vertical: y, 
                  }); 
              }); 
          });

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

None
