This PR is related to this.
@mountiny could you assign me to this issue?
I think we should wait for mentioned PR to be merged as I believe it should fix this issue.

@martasudol very recently I modified ReportScreen a bit in order to display a different version of report actions list conditionally.
If you missed this, then you can take a look at these two:

• Display MoneyRequestReport on Inbox and navigate to it from preview #60119
• Correctly display transaction thread on Search and Inbox MoneyRequestReport #60884 (fix to ☝)

Also feel free to ask any questions

@Kicu do I understand correctly that your changes from these 2 PRs also fix the issue from #60182 ? :D After you changes, I cannot reproduce it anymore on staging so I believe my changes from #60182 are not needed anymore 🤔
