This happening only on iOS or Android as well?

Only on iOS

I’m facing something similar. What happens when you select text suggestion from keyboard?

[Khanzada Kashif]

it simply ads the suggestion.

[लातों वाला भूत]

can you share the code where you are handling onValueChange?

[Khanzada Kashif]

fun updateQuery(query: String) {
_query._update_ *{* query *}*
if (query._isEmpty_())
resetStates()
}

[Khanzada Kashif]

I am updating it via viewmodel...

[Khanzada Kashif]

_query is mutableStateFlow in viewmodel...

[लातों वाला भूत]

Possible that _query has older value persisting while typing in new value?

[Khanzada Kashif]

Doesn't happen, I

[Khanzada Kashif]

I'm collecting query as state and using it as value on textfield and it gets updated in viewmodel with update closure.

@Khanzada Kashif check if your method responsible for updating state in viewModel is running async (i.e. in some coroutine). The compose text field is having issues when it is updated from separate thread. The workaround is to
A) save text state in a composable
B) run text processing in vm synchronously

[Mikolaj]

Also those issues will be presumably fixed with BasicTextField2 . See https://proandroiddev.com/basictextfield2-a-textfield-of-dreams-1-2-0103fd7cc0ec

[Khanzada Kashif]

I've debugged it found that issue is occurring due to manually hiding keyboard when user hits the search action.

[Mikolaj]

Oh that is interesting.. glad that You found it 🙌

[Khanzada Kashif]

But, Haven't found the solution for it yet... 😄

[Khanzada Kashif]

@Mikolaj That's how it is happening. If i remove the hide call, keyboard doesn't go down neither does the view flickers.

[Mikolaj]

oh maybe You can try the FocusManager instead of keyboard controller?

val focusManager = LocalFocusManager.current
// in your KeyboardActions
focusManager.clearFocus(force = true)

It should clear the focus off the text field and hide the keyboard 🤞

[Khanzada Kashif]

yep, tried it and it does hide the keyboard, but view still flickers.

This looks like a problem with IME insets to me 🤔
Does your ContentView has ignoresSafeArea as in example?

@Oleksandr Balan Thanks bro, you a life saver... 😍
adding ignoreSafeArea worked,
