    @Krishna2323 this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

    @Krishna2323 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!

    This is fixed by #104190 (deployed to production in 9.5.14-3). It changes the react-navigation useLinking patch so browser Back resets to the saved state when the popped root history entry is a modal back-guard, instead of dispatching goBack() to the focused stack. I retested on mWeb Chrome (Android/iOS) and Back now only dismisses the Describe modal.
