Explanation of Change

The Submit or Approve button row under a mobile expense report header now keeps a gap above it whatever the header bar height is.

On staging (9.4.81-0) the report avatar in an expense report header sits flush against the Submit button on Android. The stacked action row in MoneyReportHeaderActions has bottom padding only, so its distance from the header came entirely from the header bar's spare height above and below the avatar. Shorten the page header bar to 64px on mobile cut that spare height from 16px to 12px per side, which leaves 6px under the avatar's subscript badge. The 64px header is intentional and stays as is; the row now owns its own top padding instead.

  • pt2 on both narrow-layout rows (actions and the multi-select dropdown)
  • Wide layouts unchanged, buttons still render inside the header row

Fixed Issues

$ #101403
PROPOSAL: N/A

Tests

  1. On a phone or a narrow browser window, open a workspace chat and create an expense.
  2. Open the expense report.
  3. Verify there is visible space between the report avatar (including its small workspace badge) and the Submit button.
  4. Open the report on a wide window and verify the Submit and More buttons still sit inside the header row, unchanged.
  5. On a report with two or more expenses on a phone, long press an expense to enter selection mode and verify the dropdown row under the header keeps the same gap.
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

Same as tests. The change is layout only and does not depend on network state.

QA Steps

  1. Launch the Expensify app on Android.
  2. Go to a workspace chat and create an expense.
  3. Open the report.
  4. Verify there is padding between the report header and the Submit button, matching iOS.
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.
