Managing a BUG issue

From  this  SO: https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/14418

• Confirm the "bug" is actually a  bug
• Confirm the  bug is  not  a  duplicate  report of  an existing  GH (close  the  GH  and  add  any  relevant  details  to  the  original  GH ) 
• The  bug  is  reproducible

If the bug is reproducible:

• The GH is filled out completely  
• The  GH  was  created  by  an  Expensify  employee  or  a  QA  tester
• If  the  bug  is an OldDot issue,  you  should  decide  whether  it  is  widespread  enough  to  justify fixing or  it  is  better  to  wait  for  reunification. If  it’s  better  to  wait,  close  the  GH and  provide details
• If there's  a  link  to  Slack, check the discussion and see why we decided to fix it or not
• Decide if  the  GH should be resolved by an External contributor or an Internal engineer and add the appropriate label

about 60 seconds of this video is of me trying to log into my account BUT it does show that the profile pics are the same at the beginning and the end:

I followed the test steps locally on web to test overnight and was unable to reproduce as well 😕

Is this web though? It looks more like desktop?

[maddylewis]

logged in this morning and updated avatar photo is showing as expected / unable to reproduce:

Confirmed in the thread that those who can repro are on web. Going to assign myself as well to try to help repro and dig into the code a bit for some theories on failure points
