Proposal

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

Expense - Text selection mode is triggered when long tapping on expense in the expense report

What is the root cause of that problem?

• The parent container of TransactionItemRow does not have styles.userSelectNone style applied to it and dataSet={{[CONST.SELECTION_SCRAPER_HIDDEN_ELEMENT]: true is also missing.
  

  App/src/components/MoneyRequestReportView/MoneyRequestReportTransactionList.tsx

  	<PressableWithFeedback
  	key={transaction.transactionID}
  	onPress={(e) => {
  	if (isMouseDownOnInput) {
  	e?.stopPropagation();
  	return;
  	}
  	if (selectionMode?.isEnabled) {
  	toggleTransaction(transaction.transactionID);
  	return;
  	}
  	navigateToTransaction(transaction);
  	}}
  	accessibilityLabel={translate('iou.viewDetails')}
  	role={getButtonRole(true)}
  	isNested
  	hoverDimmingValue={1}
  	onMouseDown={(e) => e.preventDefault()}
  	id={transaction.transactionID}
  	style={[pressableStyle]}
  	onMouseLeave={handleMouseLeave}
  	onLongPress={() => {
  	if (!displayNarrowVersion) {
  	return;
  	}
  	if (selectionMode?.isEnabled) {
  	toggleTransaction(transaction.transactionID);
  	return;
  	}
  	setSelectedTransactionID(transaction.transactionID);
  	setIsModalVisible(true);
  	}}
  	>
  	<TransactionItemRow
  	transactionItem={transaction}
  	isSelected={isTransactionSelected(transaction.transactionID)}
  	shouldShowTooltip
  	dateColumnSize={dateColumnSize}
  	shouldUseNarrowLayout={displayNarrowVersion}
  	shouldShowChatBubbleComponent
  	onCheckboxPress={toggleTransaction}
  	/>
  	</PressableWithFeedback>

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

• Add styles.userSelectNone style and dataSet={{[CONST.SELECTION_SCRAPER_HIDDEN_ELEMENT]: true to PressableWithFeedback.

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?
