Proposal

Posting proposal early as per new guidelines

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Money request header title has I beam cursor instead of pointer while hovering.

What is the root cause of that problem?

Money request header rendered via src/components/MoneyRequestHeader.js component. It consist two rows i.e. Requester and Payee.

1. So requestor rows rendered via <HeaderWithCloseButton> at line 91

App/src/components/MoneyRequestHeader.js

Line 91 in 7378626

<HeaderWithCloseButton

Eventually HeaderWithCloseButton will render AvatarWithDisplayName via this:

App/src/components/HeaderWithCloseButton.js

Lines 170 to 174 in 7378626

	<AvatarWithDisplayName
	report={this.props.report}
	policies={this.props.policies}
	personalDetails={this.props.personalDetails}
	/>

AvatarWithDisplayName.js will render DisplayNames via this code:

App/src/components/AvatarWithDisplayName.js

Lines 77 to 84 in 7378626

	<DisplayNames
	fullTitle={title}
	displayNamesWithTooltips={displayNamesWithTooltips}
	tooltipEnabled
	numberOfLines={1}
	textStyles={[styles.headerText, styles.pre]}
	shouldUseFullTitle={isExpenseReport}
	/>

We can see at line 82 we are passing text styles without cursor style, So it is display I beam cursor due text being selectable by nature.

2. Payee render from MoneyRequestHeader.js via this code:

App/src/components/MoneyRequestHeader.js

Lines 120 to 125 in 7378626

	<Text
	style={[styles.headerText, styles.pre]}
	numberOfLines={1}
	>
	{payeeName}
	</Text>

We can see at line 121 we are passing text styles without cursor style, So it display I beam cursor. So this is the root cause of the problem for both places.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

To solve this we have to set default cursor style at two place.
i.e. Within AvatarWithDisplayName.js we have to set styles.cursorDefault style at line 82 as shown in code below.

<DisplayNames 
   ...
   // textStyles={[styles.headerText, styles.pre]}   // *** Old  ***
   textStyles={[styles.headerText, styles.pre, styles.cursorDefault]} // *** Updated  ***
   ...
/> 

Within MoneyRequestHeader.js we have to set styles.cursorDefault style at line 121 as shown in code below.

 <Text 
     // style={[styles.headerText, styles.pre]}   // *** Old ***
     style={[styles.headerText, styles.pre, styles.cursorDefault]}  // *** Updated ***
     ...
 > 
     {payeeName} 
 </Text> 

So it will solve the issue and shows default cursor for both Requester and Payee as shown in result video.

Important: We can not set pointer cursor because there is not any action on click of the text. So we have to use default cursor.

Proposal to Set Checkmark and Settled text

Within MoneyRequestHeader.js set iou amount description conditionally and pass descriptionRightIcon prop as shown below at line 179 here.

<MenuItemWithTopDescription
  title={formattedTransactionAmount}
  // description={`${props.translate('iou.amount')} • ${props.translate('iou.cash')}`}   // *** Old Code ***
  description={`${props.translate('iou.amount')} • ${props.translate('iou.cash')}${isSettled ? ` • ${props.translate('iou.settledExpensify')}` : ''}`}   // *** Updated Code ***
  descriptionRightIcon={isSettled ? Expensicons.Checkmark : false}   // *** Add this prop
  ....
/>

We have remove old checkmark icon from code block here.

Then we have to update this code as shown below:

<View style={[styles.flexRow, styles.alignItemsCenter]}>
    {Boolean(props.title) && (
        <Text
            style={titleTextStyle}
            numberOfLines={1}
        >
            {convertToLTR(props.title)}
        </Text>
    )}
    {Boolean(props.descriptionRightIcon) && (
        <View style={[styles.ml2]}>
            <Icon
                src={props.descriptionRightIcon}
                fill={themeColors.iconSuccessFill}
            />
        </View>
    )}
</View>

So this will show the checkmark icon at right side of the amount and show Settled within text as shown in result below:

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Money request header title has I beam cursor instead of pointer while hovering.

What is the root cause of that problem?

If the items in the header are not intended to be clickable, then there may not be an issue to fix. But if we plan to make any of the items clickable then the root cause of this issue is not defining pointer styles for those items.
Additionally, there seems to be an inconsistency with the use of tooltips in both the Money Request and Task headers that should be addressed and made consistent.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

To fix these issues, we need to first confirm if any of these header items are going to be clickable in future.
If so, we should apply styles.cursorpointer to corresponding items and leave other items as they are, since we already use I-beam cursors for text all over the app. cc: @shawnborton

Few examples

Screen.Recording.2023-05-20.at.6.46.11.PM.mov

Also, we need to define Tooltips for all header items or follow the design team's suggestion.

This is the current scenario:

For Money Request Page

• In first row
  - Avatar has default cursor and no tooltip
  - Name has I-Beam cursor and tooltip is present

• In 2nd row
  - Avatar has default cursor and no tooltip
  - Name has I-Beam cursor and no tooltip

  money-request-page.mov

For Task Pages

• In first row
  - Avatar and Name both have default cursor and no tooltips

• In 2nd row
  - Avatar and Name both have pointer cursor and no tooltips (it's clickable)

  task-page.mov

We will be making these changes in HeaderView.js, HeaderViewWithCloseButton.js, MoneyRequestHeader.js, TaskHeader.js, AvatarWithDisplayName.js etc

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We can also go with default cursors and consistent tooltips

Hmm why does the To field have a checkmark here? cc @JmillsExpensify @trjExpensify

But I think this isn't really a bug if you can't actually click the header title to navigate anywhere, then no need for a pointer mouse.

Hmm why does the To field have a checkmark here? cc @JmillsExpensify @trjExpensify

I think I'm blinded by EC3, can you link me to the vid showing that? 😅

I agree it shouldn't have a pointer mouse if it's not clickable, and I don't think we have any immediate plans to add some kind of "room details" for a expense/iouReport.

[daraksha-dk]

@trjExpensify I think @shawnborton is referring to the first video here

[trjExpensify]

Ah, I see it now. Yes, that's an error. The transaction view once settled should look like this:

@mountiny @luacmartins @Julesssss - I've been out of the loop at EC3 for a couple of days, is this fix up somewhere else?

[Julesssss]

is this fix up somewhere else?

Not as far as I'm aware. Given that it's minor we can probably sneak the fix into this issue/proposal
