The issue is due to the flexbox property which was aligning the items to the right.

[Jahanzaib00]

Hello, from last 2 days I've been working on some of the issues but no matter how quickly I resolve them or send the proposal. Somehow, I've never assigned the issue formally.
Can some guide, what's the issue?

[huzaifa-99]

Proposal

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

We want the multiple avatars of IOUPreview to be right-aligned

What is the root cause of that problem?

Currently we are not apply align styles to the MultipleAvatars container view

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

We need to apply align styles to styles.iouPreviewBoxAvatar

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

My proposal here fixes this issue, reposting for visibility

Proposal

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

We want workspace icons to be aligned to right.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We do a different kind of width calculation when there are more than 4 icons, but at a single time we only display 4 icons. The extra width moves the icons to left.

App/src/components/MultipleAvatars.js

Lines 142 to 145 in 6e5b07c

	if (props.icons.length > 4) {
	const length = avatarRows.length > 1 ? Math.max(avatarRows[0].length, avatarRows[1].length) : avatarRows[0].length;
	width = oneAvatarSize.width + overlapSize * 2 * (length - 1) + oneAvatarBorderWidth * (length * 2);
	} else {

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

We should update the width calculation here. Since we only display a max of 4 icons, we can remove the length calculation and use 4 directly (which comes from props.maxAvatarsInRow), and simplify this whole block with this condition

const length = Math.min(props.maxAvatarsInRow, props.icons.length)
width = oneAvatarSize.width + overlapSize * 2 * (length - 1) + oneAvatarBorderWidth * (length * 2);

Proposal

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

Split bill icons are not aligned properly

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are using left for positioning/shifting avatars, which causes it to use more space than required.

App/src/styles/StyleUtils.js

Line 906 in 702d8e2

left: -(overlapSize * index),

App/src/styles/StyleUtils.js

Line 923 in 702d8e2

left: -(oneAvatarSize.width * 2 + oneAvatarBorderWidth * 2),

Also, currently, we are calculating the width, as a workaround, which is also a part of the problem in this issue.

@stitesExpensify I think the width was set as a workaround for the issue described in my proposal (the 2nd issue)

We are using left for positioning/shifting avatars but the PressableWithoutFeedback itself is not shifted, which causes it to be clickable in both the original and shifted positions.

If we use margin-left instead, we can remove the width, which may prevent any future issues.

App/src/components/MultipleAvatars.js

Lines 138 to 144 in 702d8e2

	if (props.icons.length > 4) {
	const length = avatarRows.length > 1 ? Math.max(avatarRows[0].length, avatarRows[1].length) : avatarRows[0].length;
	width = oneAvatarSize.width + overlapSize * 2 * (length - 1) + oneAvatarBorderWidth * (length * 2);
	} else {
	// one avatar width + overlaping avatar sizes + border space
	width = oneAvatarSize.width + overlapSize * 2 * (props.icons.length - 1) + oneAvatarBorderWidth * (props.icons.length * 2);
	}

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

Use margin-left instead of left for positioning the avatar.

// in getHorizontalStackedAvatarStyle
- left: -(overlapSize * index)
+ marginLeft: index > 0 ? -overlapSize : 0

// in getHorizontalStackedOverlayAvatarStyle
- left: -(oneAvatarSize.width * 2 + oneAvatarBorderWidth * 2)
+ marginLeft: -(oneAvatarSize.width + oneAvatarBorderWidth * 2)

We should also need to remove the width, as we don't need it anymore, because this proposal also removes the need for the workaround as it fixes the issue in the root, and removing it may prevent future issues like this.

App/src/components/MultipleAvatars.js

Lines 138 to 144 in 702d8e2

	if (props.icons.length > 4) {
	const length = avatarRows.length > 1 ? Math.max(avatarRows[0].length, avatarRows[1].length) : avatarRows[0].length;
	width = oneAvatarSize.width + overlapSize * 2 * (length - 1) + oneAvatarBorderWidth * (length * 2);
	} else {
	// one avatar width + overlaping avatar sizes + border space
	width = oneAvatarSize.width + overlapSize * 2 * (props.icons.length - 1) + oneAvatarBorderWidth * (props.icons.length * 2);
	}

I've already made proposals in issue #22632 and #22685 which also has the same exact root cause as this one, implementing any one of the proposals would solve all these 3 issues.

Also, I've made a proposal above just in case.

@puneetlath please have a look here also.

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @Santhosh-Sellavel (External)

[jliexpensify]

Hi @Santhosh-Sellavel - we've had a few comments stating that this issue has the same root cause as a few others. Could you check this out, and let us know if this is the case? If so, should we wait on a PR from another issue to resolve this one?

[jliexpensify]

Bump @Santhosh-Sellavel !

[Santhosh-Sellavel]

Missed this one somehow!

[Santhosh-Sellavel]

@jliexpensify This seems like a dupe of #22632 & the same RC.

We can close this one straightaway, and nothing is due here!
