Hi guys, i'm trying singleLine for Textfield. When i paste text has \n to TextField singleLine = true it not working(Example in photo). In Android Native, it will auto replace \n to space when i set singleLine = true for EditText. So i wanna ask TextField in compose has something like that?

How do you know that the LogCat out represents the way its drawn in Compose? It might keep the newline for the callback but when rendering ignore it 🙂

@Blundell the view also render like LogCat, text \n below textField and i still interact with it

[Blundell]

ah so the screenshot is your view? not logcat

@Blundell u can see this bug in video below

I see, so when you paste a new line it renders a new line, you control the text, why not do text = text.replace("\n", " ")

@Blundell i have solution already but i want to ask whether TextField has any property do same EditText in android native just Textfield.something() 😂

In the new text field, this is the code that currently handles that case: https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/foundation/foundation/src/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/text2/input/CodepointTransformation.kt;l=70;drc=2adbc5466c91675572c0d0d7ee80765e849ee88f

In the current BasicTextField I don’t think we handle it at all
