Thanks @eh2077 . I’m planning to push through a proposal soon for how we manage ‘needs reproduction’ issues. I’m going to bump this to weekly for now then add it to the list as an early example to start/test on.

@mallenexpensify I think it makes sense to clear up data in local storage similar to what we do when logout from web browser. Ideally I think we should reproduce this issue to better understand it, which will make us more confident about the fix. Let me take some more time to find the reproduction steps.
