Hi, with Compose 1.7 on the brink of release with the new TextFields, is there any hope that a contentPadding parameter will make it in?
I opened an issue in Google Issue Tracker a while ago, and the Compose team showed interest, but nothing has materialized.

This would be incredibly useful to add internal padding to the TextField that doesn't cut the text when scrolling.
This is a problem that even material text fields suffer from (they apply some default padding, but it causes long text to get cut off on scrolling it; which doesn't look good). In this case applying the padding using a contentPadding (just like the LazyList contentPadding parameter) would result in scrolled text reaching all the way to the border of the field, which would look more natural.

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] sorry for the ping, but are there any updates on this?

Reviving this question, any chance the new BasicTextField could get a contentPadding parameter, like lazy lists?
That way we can avoid the text getting clipped by external padding when scrolled. 1.7 is almost here, but this hasn't made it in.

Unfortunately it's too late in the release cycle for adding a new API but this is on our radar for 1.8 .

Thanks for the response, looking forward to it!
