09/10/2023, 5:19 AMHello folks, I have an issue with the dropdown menu, I’m trying to show a string of 100 items in a dropdown, when I do this there’s a very obvious performance hit and it takes a long time to display the dropdown each time I click on the icon. I considered using a LazyColumn here but this isn’t recommended based on the docs, how do I go about this?

androidx.compose.ui.window.Popup👍 1
