oh sorry I'm 100% focused on another task, unassigning for the pool

I understand that we may replace the component in the future (external library?) that we use to display comments in reports: https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/162811

Do we still want to fix this? Maybe it will just go away with the new implementation.

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!
