I don't think this is accurate, I cannot repro in prod.

Since the message gets corrected by the server I'd consider it a minor issue and not something that needs to block deploy.

That said, I believe all that's needed to fix the bug is updating this line

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 3206 in 09ad468

textForNewComment = `${commentText}\n${CONST.ATTACHMENT_UPLOADING_MESSAGE_HTML}`;

to

textForNewComment = `${parser.htmlToText(commentText)}\n${CONST.ATTACHMENT_UPLOADING_MESSAGE_HTML}`;

@tgolen do you want to take this one as polish to your feature?
