[🐛] 🔥 Attachment picker sheet covers the entire chat when rendered inside a collapsed container

[jakubdrozdek]

Issue

In my app, the <OverlayProvider> and <Chat> are initially rendered within a container that has height: 0 (collapsed state). Users can expand the container by pressing a button, which sets a different height for the container.
When the user expands the container, the attachment picker sheet is rendered over the entire chat and covers it entirely, even though it's empty.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Render the chat within a collapsed container (with height: 0). Let it initialize by connecting the user, and loading messages.
2. Click on a button that triggers the expansion of the container, resulting in the container to get height > 0.
3. Notice that the chat contents are hidden beneath the attachment picker sheet. The sheet is empty but it covers the entire chat area.
4. You can drag-to-close the attachment picker to reveal the chat contents.

Expected behavior

The attachment picker sheet should not be rendered in this case, as nothing triggered it to be opened.

Hey @jakubdrozdek, we made some good improvements to our bottom sheet implementation in v5.28.1 version of our SDK. Can you test it and let us know if it is still a problem for you? We will investigate further if it still exists.

[khushal87]

Hey @jakubdrozdek, did you try the above?

[jakubdrozdek]

@khushal87 Thanks for the info. We've made a few temporary customizations and UI optimizations so the tests with the newest version might give inaccurate results.
We have plans to revert some of those optimizations and try to rely on GetStream SDK alone. Once we're done, I'll let you know.

[khushal87]

Sure, I will close the issue until then. Feel free to reopen if you see any problems and we can look further. Thanks @jakubdrozdek 😄
