Explanation of Change

Fixes the account tooltip's caret detaching from the bubble on mWeb. The caret was rendering over the bubble's rounded corner, so it looked like it was floating next to the tooltip instead of pointing out of it.

With RIGHT anchor alignment the caret sits 8px from the bubble's right edge, putting its center 16px in, not 20px, so it was already 4px off the 40px button's center. The bubble's right edge also lined up exactly with the 12px gutter (mr3 = gutterWidth = 12), and the gutter check is strict, but the two numbers it compares come from different places: the bubble's edge from getBoundingClientRect (fractional CSS pixels, and on mWeb the viewport width itself often isn't a whole pixel) and the window width from Dimensions, which rounds. So on mWeb the bubble read as overflowing by a sub-pixel, roundToNearestMultipleOfFour turned that into a full 4px shift, and the caret compensation that follows pushed the caret onto the corner. Its clamp allows for a 4px radius (componentBorderRadiusSmall), while the product training bubble overrides its radius to 8px.

shiftHorizontal: -4 centers the caret on the button, and the 4px of gutter clearance that comes with it stops the sub-pixel overflow from triggering a shift at all. Same approach ThreeDotsMenu and AccountSwitcher already use.

Also evens out the gap between the search, concierge and account buttons. The account button looked closer to concierge than concierge is to search. All three share touchableButtonImage (a 40px centered box), but the avatar's content is 28px wide against the icons' 20px, so its visual gap was 16px where the others were 20px. A 4px left margin on the account button makes them uniform. Change requested by the design team: #100705 (comment)

PROPOSAL: N/A

Tests

  1. Log in to an account that hasn't dismissed the account moved to the top bar tooltip yet.
  2. Enable the insightsPage beta.
  3. If on web, switch to a narrow layout.
  4. Verify the tooltip looks correct (there's no gap between the triangle and the rounded rectangle).
  5. Verify the search router, concierge anywhere and account tab buttons have a uniform gap between each other.

QA Steps

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.
