A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I just wanted to share something that I found during my adventures with compose:

On Android, adding an `OnDrawListener` to an Activity's content view `ViewTreeObserver` and then performing _some_ operations to the tune of 1-2 milliseconds, completely broke the compose rendering of my UI.

It presented itself in really odd ways (with my lack of understanding of the general compose behaviour anyway) whereby a `TextField` cursor would not blink, and updates to the `TextField` would not be displayed consistently.

I'm going to try and make a tiny reproducible example complete with a work around that seemed to work for me, which was to simply `<http://handler.post|handler.post>(...)` the work from the `OnDrawListener` method, instead of handling the work as the draw event fired.

I just wanted to get that out lest I pull a 'me' and fail to follow through on a small reproducible example.

EDIT: I did it <https://github.com/ChrisAJS/JetpackComposeRenderIssueExample/tree/main>

Raised a bug too, phew, that's pretty much an entire day's work done! <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/227875474>
