Compose for Wear OS <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/wear-compose#1.3.0-rc01|1.3.0-rc01> was released this week and contains one important bug fix.

Our 1.3.0-alpha02 release introduced a change to ensure that Chips/ToggleChips would grow in height to better support user selected font scaling. As a result, we have noticed that some clipping could occur (see image). We have fixed this new issue by increasing the corner radius of the MaterialTheme large shape from 24 dp to 26 dp and using it for Chip and ToggleChip to avoid clipping content on the corners of Chip and ToggleChip.

Most Chips and ToggleChips will be unchanged, given their default 52 dp height. However, Chips and ToggleChips with multiple lines of primary or secondary label text, or for which the height has been overridden, could see a change that unfortunately breaks some screenshot tests (we saw some changes between 1%-2%), and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

There is also a minor change to the appearance of corners on Cards, since those also use the MaterialTheme large shape.

This is what the Chip above looks like with the changed corner radius to fix the clipping:

Horologist saw the change as you describe. Mostly Chips changed ever so slightly. And a single larger one was affected more. <https://github.com/google/horologist/pull/1953/files>

Yep, those changes are as expected as a consequence of this change - thanks for the update.

Couldn't it be kept smaller with centered text?

I guess it'd imply more complicated calculations, I mean, a bit of trigonometry, but I was thinking that maybe you're already doing those

Using `MaterialTheme.shapes.large` seems more like what was probably intended. I think originally it was though possible to keep Chips to a size that small makes sense. Just guessing the UX intent.
