Proposal

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

All message boxes lose focusing when clicking on Report a bug link

What is the root cause of that problem?

When click on Report a bug the app navigate to the Concierge chat page.

App/src/libs/actions/Report.js

Line 1312 in c20c387

Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.getReportRoute(conciergeChatReportID));

But there’s no explicit focus management after navigation, so focus is not automatically set to a specific field unless specified.
This is the root cause of this issue.

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

One approach is that add explicit focus management after navigation.
We can achieve this by using the useEffect hook in the ReportActionCompose.js to set the focus to the compose input when the component is mounted. This will ensure the compose input gets focus after navigation.

    useEffect(() => {
        if (shouldFocusInputOnScreenFocus && shouldShowComposeInput) {
            focus();
        }
    }, [shouldFocusInputOnScreenFocus, shouldShowComposeInput]);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Same root cause with #21401

@fedirjh do you think this is the same root cause of #21401?

Hey @NicMendonca Yes it has the same root cause and should be put on hold for #15992
