Looks like this is reproducible on dev as well and does not happen on production.

[chiragsalian]

I suspect this PR - https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/8591/files
Edit: Reverting the PR's code seems to have resolved the issue. Now diving into what the PR was meant to solve.

[chiragsalian]

Cool looks like the issue is because the code is calling onBlur. So when the currency icon is clicked here,

The onblur gets called and is locking focus to the currency numbers which is why we can't type anything here,

Okay i'll just revert the offending PR and let them know about it.

[chiragsalian]

This should be resolved in version 1.1.57-14 or higher.
@kbecciv, can you retest and if it passes then remove deployBlocker and check if off the checklist? 🙇‍♂️

[Julesssss]

@chiragsalianthe the reverted PR fixed a valid issue so we'll need to ensure it gets resolved with a modified proposal. I posted in the issue to let them know

[Beamanator]

Thanks for investigating & reverting - can this issue now be closed?

[Julesssss]

I think we're just awaiting @Expensify/applause testing

[chiragsalian]

QA mentioned it was tested. removing deploy blocker label. Actually yeah i'll close these as well since there is no reason to continue seeing them and it takes a while to go to prod.
