Proposal

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

Green dot is not on the same line as the caret

What is the root cause of that problem?

We see this error only when task has assignee because we are not adding iconWrapperStyle to this

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/TaskPreview.tsx

Lines 130 to 136 in 9e72084

	{shouldShowGreenDotIndicator && (
	<View style={styles.ml2}>
	<Icon
	src={Expensicons.DotIndicator}
	fill={theme.success}
	/>
	</View>

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

We should pass iconWrapperStyle in styles here

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/TaskPreview.tsx

Lines 130 to 136 in 9e72084

	{shouldShowGreenDotIndicator && (
	<View style={styles.ml2}>
	<Icon
	src={Expensicons.DotIndicator}
	fill={theme.success}
	/>
	</View>

    <View style={[styles.ml2,iconWrapperStyle]}>
                        <Icon
                            src={Expensicons.DotIndicator}
                            fill={theme.success}
                        />
                    </View>

Other minor styling can be adjusted in the pr

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Or we can remove iconWrapperStyle from here to fix this

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/TaskPreview.tsx

Line 141 in 9e72084

additionalStyles={iconWrapperStyle}

This PR introduced the issue: #49686, although it fixes worst ones 😄

Also I don't think it needs to be a blocker, as it is a minor style issue.

Proposal

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

Task - Green dot is not on the same line as the caret

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are using dynamic styles for surrounding elements, while not for greenDot.

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

Option 1.

• Move GreenDotIndicator element inside this view, This way We take advantage of styles.mr2 in this view for better spacing between greendot and arrow icon.
  

  App/src/components/ReportActionItem/TaskPreview.tsx

  Lines 103 to 129 in e9d445e

  	<View style={[styles.flex1, styles.flexRow, styles.alignItemsStart, styles.mr2]}>
  	<View style={iconWrapperStyle}>
  	<Checkbox
  	style={[styles.mr2]}
  	isChecked={isTaskCompleted}
  	disabled={!Task.canModifyTask(taskReport, currentUserPersonalDetails.accountID) || !Task.canActionTask(taskReport, currentUserPersonalDetails.accountID)}
  	onPress={Session.checkIfActionIsAllowed(() => {
  	if (isTaskCompleted) {
  	Task.reopenTask(taskReport);
  	} else {
  	Task.completeTask(taskReport);
  	}
  	})}
  	accessibilityLabel={translate('task.task')}
  	/>
  	</View>
  	{hasAssignee && (
  	<Avatar
  	containerStyles={[styles.mr2, isTaskCompleted ? styles.opacitySemiTransparent : undefined]}
  	source={avatar}
  	size={avatarSize}
  	avatarID={taskAssigneeAccountID}
  	type={CONST.ICON_TYPE_AVATAR}
  	/>
  	)}
  	<Text style={titleStyle}>{taskTitle}</Text>
  	</View>

  
  

  App/src/components/ReportActionItem/TaskPreview.tsx

  Lines 130 to 137 in e9d445e

  	{shouldShowGreenDotIndicator && (
  	<View style={styles.ml2}>
  	<Icon
  	src={Expensicons.DotIndicator}
  	fill={theme.success}
  	/>
  	</View>
  	)}

• Additionally apply iconWrapperStyle to greenDot indicator icon.

    <Icon
        src={Expensicons.DotIndicator}
        fill={theme.success}
        additionalStyles={iconWrapperStyle}
    />

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/TaskPreview.tsx

Lines 132 to 135 in e9d445e

	<Icon
	src={Expensicons.DotIndicator}
	fill={theme.success}
	/>

Option 2.
If we don't want to move greenDot inside view as I suggested, then we should remove styles.ml2 style and hence wrapping view for greenDot icon. (We have ml2 for greenDot and mr2 for task title due which task title is shrinking too much without need)

• remove this view container and add iconWrapperStyle as additional style to greenDot icon.
  

  App/src/components/ReportActionItem/TaskPreview.tsx

  Lines 131 to 136 in e9d445e

  	<View style={styles.ml2}>
  	<Icon
  	src={Expensicons.DotIndicator}
  	fill={theme.success}
  	/>
  	</View>

Just centering greenDot	option 1 (even space on both side)	option 2 (consuming less space from task title)
