Action Performed:

Navigate to a conversation
Click on attachment button
Click on request money
On the amount, enter 1550
Try to modify the amount

Expected Result:

User should be able to modify the amount by either using the < back caret from the end of the number, or highlighting any grouping of numbers and deleting them with a single keypress using the < caret.

Actual Result:

User is unable to tap to highlight the numbers on the BNP

Workaround:

Use the back caret < to delete/modify from the last number.

Expected Solution:

Fix the issue on all platforms by using the selection and value prop of TextInput.
Don't use setNativeProps as it won't be supported in Fabric
Don't use any workaround like setTimeout, setImmediate, requestAnimationFrame etc.

Drawbacks of the expected solution:

On Android, Copy / Paste menu will not work. But it'll eventually be fixed by [Ready for payment via newdot][$16000] Android - Copy / Paste / Cut menu is not displayed when selecting text in compose box - Reported by: @parasharrajat #8349
From past experience, I'm assuming poor performance (at least on the dev build) when
- typing quickly
- or moving the cursor around

I believe that upgrading to the new Fabric architecture will fix both the drawbacks (anecdotal evidence).
We already have a ticket for the upgrade over here - #8503

Triggered auto assignment to @deetergp (Engineering), see https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/4319 for more details.

This can be external, but I want to verify that this is the bug and not the behavior we see on web/desktop.

The consensus is, let's do it 👍 Setting external…

👋 @deetergp, can you point me to this please? I can only find this thread with no discussion: https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01GTK53T8Q/p1635545417275400

@trjExpensify

I believe this is the thread you want @trjExpensify.

Got it! So in terms of the expected behaviour then. Are we advocating for highlighting the number on press, and then tapping the caret < on the keyboard deletes just that selected number?

@trjExpensify

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