Regression PR: #59087

[mountiny]

Seems minor issue so does not have to hold the deploy imho

[mountiny]

@wgsquayson can you please have a look at this one as regression?

[allroundexperts]

Have we confirmed if this is really caused by #59087?

[mollfpr]

I confirm that this regression from #59087

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

[mollfpr]

@wgsquayson Any update to fix this issue? Thanks!

[melvin-bot]

@wgsquayson 8 days overdue is a lot. Should this be a Weekly issue? If so, feel free to change it!

[strepanier03]

@wgsquayson and @allroundexperts, friendly bump.

Sorry guys - I asked @chrispader some days ago to assign this to another contributor (and forgot to take a look here, my bad), because i've been in a really tight schedule lately. Will check with him on what happened.

[melvin-bot]

@strepanier03 @mollfpr @allroundexperts @wgsquayson 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!

[melvin-bot]

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

[melvin-bot]

@wgsquayson Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[chrispader]

I'm still looking for someone to take it over soon, but everyone at Margelo is pretty busy with other Expensify tasks at the moment unfortunately.

If this needs to be handled more quickly, feel free to re-assign. I'll probably have someone by start of next week!

[melvin-bot]

@wgsquayson 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!
