It is actually moved to next line due to link is considered a single word and there is not enough space to accommodate the link on same line.

I tested myself in the iOS app and I saw different behavior from the video above. I tested with hshs.com and google.com.

With hshs.com, it kept everything on the same line:

With google.com, which was too big to have on a single line, it kept the https:// on the first line and moved the remainder to the second line:

I also tested on MacOS chrome and could not reproduce.

I'm going to set the bounty to $125 to start, hopefully this is a simple fix.

Proposal

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

With quote markdown, url text on tapping enter key not moved to next line.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We have the logic to throw the error if text !== markdown

https://github.com/Expensify/react-native-live-markdown/blob/6447ea9ec54830f1d55c1eac0e9274ce93a4c769/src/parseExpensiMark.ts#L283-L289

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

This PR removes try/catch so when there's parse error, it cause the issue above. I think we should bring try/catch back.

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

We should create the test for parseExpensiMark to cover the case when there's an parse error

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Reminder: Please use plain English, be brief and avoid jargon. Feel free to use images, charts or pseudo-code if necessary. Do not post large multi-line diffs or write walls of text. Do not create PRs unless you have been hired for this job.

I'm asking for the author the reason why he removed try/catch block: https://github.com/Expensify/react-native-live-markdown/pull/439/files#r1897091802
