@trjExpensify 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.

We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsb

Hey!

1. #vip-vsb is correct as a chat bug. I can reproduce it reliably.
2. It doesn't seem to be causing a functional issue. You can still right-click, so it has no impact on usability.
3. Ideally we don't have JS warnings in the console though. This warning isn't limited to right-clicking attachments, but rather anywhere you right-click in the app (i.e a chat message, LHN chat row etc).
4. Looks like it's something to do with the recordTouchEnd function and RNW, so I don't see why it can't be external.

CC: @mountiny quick hip check. Shall we proceed to find a fix for this? I'm not aware of a logical reason for not recording a touch start with the right-click action.

I agree with the assessment, I think its best to get rid of the error so I would export this issue for contributors for $250

⚠️ Could not update price automatically because there is no linked Upwork Job ID. The BZ team member will need to update the price manually in Upwork.
