Action Performed:

1. Login to an account
2. Send a message - X
3. Hover on the message X at step 2 and select the “Reply in thread” option
4. Inside the thread, hover on X and select the “Edit” option but leave it here, DO NOT save
5. Click the link on the chat report header to go back to “Main chat”
6. Hover on X again, select the Edit option, change the message to Y and Save
7. Hover on the edited message (now it became Y) and select “Reply in thread” again

Expected Result:

The pending edit text should be updated to Y (since the message ID is still the same)

Actual Result:

Pending edit text still showing as the old text - X

Workaround:

Can the user still use Expensify without this being fixed? Have you informed them of the workaround?

Hi @sophiepintoraetz
It is still happening.
The steps to reproduce it is quite many and we need to do the exact steps

[sophiepintoraetz]

@tranvantoan-qn if there are many steps, please can you make sure that they are fully captured in the reproduction steps?

[tranvantoan-qn]

Yes, each step and its explanation is fully captured in the attached video above

I post the video here again
