Has anyone else noticed the ExposedDropdownMenuBox component not accepting hardware keyboard input? When i run in the emulator, it is unable to accept any hardware keyboard input when the dropdown is active. The soft keyboard works just fine though. Code in 🧵

val allItems = listOf(
        "Tyrion Lannister",
        "Daenerys Targaryen",
        "Jon Snow",
        "Sansa Stark",
    )

    Column(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxSize()
            .padding(16.dp)
    ) {
        var query by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
        var active by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }

        ExposedDropdownMenuBox(
            expanded = active,
            onExpandedChange = { active = it }
        ) {
            OutlinedTextField(
                modifier = Modifier
                    .menuAnchor()
                    .onFocusChanged {
                        if (it.isFocused) {
                            active = true
                        }
                    },
                value = query,
                onValueChange = {
                    query = it
                    active = true
                }
            )

            val filtered = allItems.filter {
                it.contains(query, ignoreCase = true)
            }
            if (filtered.isNotEmpty()) {
                    ExposedDropdownMenu(
                        expanded = active,
                        onDismissRequest = { active = false }
                    ) {
                        filtered.forEach {
                            DropdownMenuItem(
                                onClick = {
                                    query = it
                                    active = false
                                },
                                text = {
                                    Text(it)
                                }
                            )
                        }
                    }
            }
        }
    }

you would have to set this onDismissRequest = { active = false } as this onDismissRequest = { }, make it empty. other than that I also noticed that when ever the keyboard is shown it gets laggy for some reason

My solution was to just use DropDownMenu instead, so that i can set it’s focusable popup property to false. That’s the real issue here from what i gather. ExposedDropDownMenu doesn’t expose the PopupProperties, and the default for that value is true.
