@alitoshmatov do you think this can be fixed entirely on the front end?

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@kadiealexander @alitoshmatov this issue is now 4 weeks old, please consider:

• Finding a contributor to fix the bug
• Closing the issue if BZ has been unable to add the issue to a VIP or Wave project
• If you have any questions, don't hesitate to start a discussion in #expensify-open-source

Thanks!
