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 😕

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?
