I'm having trouble getting focus on one of my components. This is my code:

val focusRequester = FocusRequester()

Column {
    Box(Modifier.weight(1f).padding(5.dp)
        .focusable()
        .focusRequester(focusRequester)
        .onFocusChanged {
            println(it.isFocused)
            focusRequester.requestFocus()
        }) {
        // draw stuff here
    }
}

... but it just prints false once and never prints anything else, even when I click around to textfields and buttons which aren't contained within my component.

Move focusRequester and onFocusChanged before focusable.

That's ... unexpected.

It feels weird marking the box as focusable after you provide the focusRequester and register for events.

What a modifier modifies is its child, which is the composable it's applied to and all the modifiers after it.
