Regression from #29055

[trjExpensify]

@jeet-dhandha can you look into this regression from your PR please?

[jeet-dhandha]

@bernhardoj Please share a video with the PR’s code and a video after reverting the code. As then only i can be sure its a regression from my PR. And also do check that the bugs fixed in the PR are also not coming back.if they are then the regression loop will go on forever.

Thanks in advance.

[bernhardoj]

I don't have my laptop with me right now, but before #29055 you made a platform specific file for the MenuItem RenderHTML where the native file doesn't have the View wrapper.

App/src/components/MenuItem.js

Lines 255 to 257 in 2b4e1c6

	<View style={styles.renderHTMLTitle}>
	<RenderHTML html={getProcessedTitle} />
	</View>

You also did explain here that wrapping the RenderHTML with View on native will make the text empty.
