Hey folks, is anyone running into strange text rendering issues with Text clipping on canvas? `TextOverflow.Clip` seems broken - sometimes blank, sometimes garbage text. Manually clipping (`TextOverflow.Visible` with a wrapping box that has `Modifier._clipToBounds_()`) sometimes works. `TextOverflow.Ellipsis` seems functional.

I'm running Compose 1.4.0. Here's an example showing the clipping behaviors side-by-side at various widths. (Gray has no clipping, Blue is `TextOverflow.Clip` and Red is `TextOverflow.Ellipsis` both clipped by setting 1 line and fixed width).

If I rendering only one the smallest of the three widths above, `TextOverflip.Clip` seems to generate garbage text. The other, larger widths rendered this way are blank :confused:

To find a shorterm fix to use Clip, I attempted to wrap `Text` with `TextOverflip.Visible` with `Box(Modifier.clipToBounds())` which works only sometimes - most of the time it's blank.

None of these issues show up on Desktop or Android

Seems to be a bug. Could you please file an issue at gihub with all your findings?

You got it. Filed with code samples: <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/3224>
