Proposal

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

When paying an expense from the search tab, after confirming payment, the app is navigated to an empty Report View.

What is the root cause of that problem?

It seems like we aren't waiting for the navigator to be ready before we navigate back to the original report.

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

We should change these lines here
src/libs/actions/IOU.ts

        Navigation.dismissModalWithReport(chatReport);

To the following:
Wait for navigation to be ready and then call dismissModal.

    Navigation.isNavigationReady().then(() => {
        Navigation.dismissModalWithReport(chatReport);
        Report.notifyNewAction(chatReport.reportID)
    })

Here is a test branch with my changes

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Additionally, I think it might also be helpful to convert the ReportView component from the depreciated withOnyx to useOnyx.
src/pages/home/report/ReportActionsView.tsx

    const [transactionThreadReportActions] = useOnyx(`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT_ACTIONS}${transactionThreadReportID}`,
        {
            canEvict: false,
        },
        ({ reportActions }) => ReportActionsUtils.getSortedReportActionsForDisplay(reportActions, true))
    const [transactionThreadReport] = useOnyx(`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${transactionThreadReportID}`,
        {
            initialValue: {}
        }
    )
    const [session] = useOnyx(ONYXKEYS.SESSION)

Proposal

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

User is navigated to the blank workspace chat after paying money request from report RHP.

What is the root cause of that problem?

I haven't investigated why the workspace chat opens with only background image, but the blank issue is the same as #45727. The other issue here is that paying the money request closes the report RHP and navigate to the workspace chat.

It's because we call dismiss modal when paying money request.

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts

Lines 6961 to 6964 in b0f810d

	const apiCommand = paymentType === CONST.IOU.PAYMENT_TYPE.EXPENSIFY ? WRITE_COMMANDS.PAY_MONEY_REQUEST_WITH_WALLET : WRITE_COMMANDS.PAY_MONEY_REQUEST;
	API.write(apiCommand, params, {optimisticData, successData, failureData});
	Navigation.dismissModalWithReport(chatReport);

The dismiss modal code is old, but I don't think the code should be there. The dismiss modal never really works before because all the pay buttons are never in an RHP, but now it's possible that the pay button is in an RHP, that is the report RHP. So, before the report RHP, the dismiss modal is useless, and no one notices that.

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

I suggest that we remove the dismiss modal code. Paying money request should let the user stay on the money request report.
