SelectionContainer {
  DropdownMenu(...) {
    Text("Some text") // when click on text got java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: layouts are not part of the same hierarchy
  }
}

Is it known issue or should i create new one?

Put the selection container around the text

[PHondogo]

This is example for demo. In real project selection container is in many functions up in the call stack.
As a workaround i wrap DropdownMenu with DisableSelection, but the bug with Compose remains.

[Alexander Maryanovsky]

A SelectionContainer allows the user to select text across several textual elements. The content of a dropdown is displayed in a separate layout hierarchy; possibly in a separate window. You can’t select text across different layout hierarchies.

[PHondogo]

Yes. I needn't do it. I think in such case DropdownMenu's text content should be silently ignored instead of throwing exception.

[Alexander Maryanovsky]

Silently ignoring is not always a good idea. You want to let the developer know he’s trying something that’s not going to work.

[PHondogo]

Make sense.
