Proposal

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

When the report name is long, the line is not wrapped correctly.
Long room name is not limited to a few lines.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We don't pass numberOfLines to this text link

App/src/components/SelectionList/ChatListItem.tsx

Lines 106 to 111 in 33a03bf

	<TextLink
	fontSize={variables.fontSizeSmall}
	onPress={() => onSelectRow(item)}
	>
	{reportActionItem.reportName}
	</TextLink>

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

We should add props numberOfLines={2}

App/src/components/SelectionList/ChatListItem.tsx

Lines 106 to 111 in 33a03bf

	<TextLink
	fontSize={variables.fontSizeSmall}
	onPress={() => onSelectRow(item)}
	>
	{reportActionItem.reportName}
	</TextLink>

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

None

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Regression PR: #50135

[techievivek]

An edge case IMO, so we can remove the blocker label and let the author fix this as a followup.

Current assignee @DylanDylann is eligible for the External assigner, not assigning anyone new.

[techievivek]

I don't think we need to have any compensation here since it's a followup to another PR they worked on #50135

[zfurtak]

Hi, can you assign me? I’ll take care of it today :)

In the PR I've just modified the component so it is wrapped when the name is too long.

However I’m wondering if this use case matches what we expected. The parent message shows as a name instead of the person's name because, we check if message is a thread and what the policy.name is. But in this case, there’s no policy.name so the result is from getReportName function.

What do you think @luacmartins?

Now I see that there is also an issue about it #56530
