Proposal

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

Suggestions popup doesn't close when dragging a file

What is the root cause of that problem?

We do nothing to close suggestions popup when dragging a file

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

1. Change the updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse function to receive shouldShow argument
   Update
   

   App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/SuggestionEmoji.js

   Lines 112 to 119 in 35aa3db

   	const updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse = useCallback(() => {
   	setSuggestionValues((prevState) => {
   	if (prevState.shouldShowSuggestionMenu) {
   	return {...prevState, shouldShowSuggestionMenu: false};
   	}
   	return prevState;
   	});
   	}, []);

   
   

   App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/SuggestionMention.js

   Lines 240 to 247 in 35aa3db

   	const updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse = useCallback(() => {
   	setSuggestionValues((prevState) => {
   	if (prevState.shouldShowSuggestionMenu) {
   	return {...prevState, shouldShowSuggestionMenu: false};
   	}
   	return prevState;
   	});
   	}, []);

to

    const updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse = useCallback((shouldShow) => {
        setSuggestionValues((prevState) => {
            if (prevState.shouldShowSuggestionMenu !== shouldShow) {
                return {...prevState, shouldShowSuggestionMenu: shouldShow};
            }
            return prevState;
        });
    }, []);

2. Update
   

   App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/Suggestions.js

   Lines 74 to 77 in 35aa3db

   	const updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse = useCallback(() => {
   	suggestionEmojiRef.current.updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse();
   	suggestionMentionRef.current.updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse();
   	}, []);

   
   to

    const updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse = useCallback((shouldShow = false) => {
        suggestionEmojiRef.current.updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse(shouldShow);
        suggestionMentionRef.current.updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse(shouldShow);
    }, []);

3. Add the following code to Suggestions

    const {isDraggingOver} = useContext(DragAndDropContext);

    ...
    useEffect(() => {
        updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse(!isDraggingOver);
    }, [isDraggingOver])

This works as expected

Proposal

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

Mention and emoji suggestions appear over the drop screen when dragging a file on to the composer with suggestions open.

What is the root cause of that problem?

I think the expected behaviour should be not necessarily to close the suggestions popup. Instead we want the 'Drop to Upload' screen to be over the suggestions popup.

We are using this host here to show suggestions.

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/ReportActionCompose.js

Line 349 in 71d11e8

<PortalHost name="suggestions" />

Suggestions are wrapped inside Portal with this host name here

App/src/components/AutoCompleteSuggestions/index.native.js

Lines 8 to 11 in 71d11e8

	<Portal hostName="suggestions">
	{/* eslint-disable-next-line react/jsx-props-no-spreading */}
	<BaseAutoCompleteSuggestions {...props} />
	</Portal>

but here we are porting it to the body

App/src/components/AutoCompleteSuggestions/index.js

Line 56 in 71d11e8

ReactDOM.createPortal(<View style={StyleUtils.getBaseAutoCompleteSuggestionContainerStyle({left, width, bottom})}>{componentToRender}</View>, document.querySelector('body'))

so the suggestions popover appears over the "Drop to Upload" screen.

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

I think we should remove createPortal in the return of index.js of AutoCompleteSuggestions specified above and wrap the View with Portal like this

<Portal hostName="suggestions"><View style={StyleUtils.getBaseAutoCompleteSuggestionContainerStyle({left, width, bottom})}>{componentToRender}</View></Portal>

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We might wrap the BaseAutoCompleteSuggestions with Portal and remove createPortal in the index.js of AutoCompleteSuggestions specified above.
With this change, the componentToRender and return of index.js of AutoCompleteSuggestions will be something like this.

const componentToRender = (
        <Portal hostName="suggestions">
          <BaseAutoCompleteSuggestions
              // eslint-disable-next-line react/jsx-props-no-spreading
              {...props}
              ref={containerRef}
          />
        </Portal>
    );

    return (
        Boolean(width) &&
        <View style={StyleUtils.getBaseAutoCompleteSuggestionContainerStyle({left, width, bottom})}>{componentToRender}</View>
    );

Is the suggestions popup closing the expected behaviour?

I think it need not close. In my opinion, the expected behaviour should be that the drop screen should be over the suggestions popup.
