We think that this bug might be related to #wave-collect - Release 1

[IuliiaHerets]

@OfstadC FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

[OfstadC]

I did not experience this. I also think this is kind of an odd scenario that is unlikely to occur for a user (must have 5 line breaks and 3 markdowns seems like an odd equation ) - So going to close this out

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[thesahindia]

I still can't repro it. @OfstadC, could you please look into it?

@OfstadC @thesahindia this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[thesahindia]

I was able to repro it on mWeb. @shahinyan11, could you repro it on native or is it just a mWeb issue?

[melvin-bot]

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

[thesahindia]
