I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what align function I need to import. It doesn't help that the import suggestions look like this:

Is there a way to ... fix this?

And which one am I supposed to choose?

I'd have thought import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.BoxScopeInstance.align but I get Cannot access '@StabilityInferred(...) @SourceDebugExtension(...) object BoxScopeInstance : BoxScope': it is internal in file

Parent scope of your box composable should be BoxScope. Which means, if you do Box { //*your snippet/*/ }, everything should work. You need to use appropriate Alignment for your given parent scope (be it RowScope or ColumnScope).

As, I think I see my confusion. I've been thinking the align() modifier specified the alignment of the contents, not the alignment within the parent.

Doesn't help me fix the UI dropdown, though. But that's a secondary issue.
