Can someone help me confirm this bug (on Android, at least)? Using a requiredSize that's greater than the parent unexpectedly causes the child to be centered.
If the Box is smaller, it's placed at the top left. But if it's greater, it's centered (i.e., you can't see the yellow anymore). See the pictures.

@Preview("Test", device = "spec:width=500dp,height=500dp,dpi=240")
@Composable
private fun ReproPreview() {
    val colorStops = arrayOf(
        0.0f to Color.Yellow,
        0.2f to Color.Red,
        1f to Color.Blue
    )

    BoxWithConstraints(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
        contentAlignment = Alignment.TopStart
    ) {
        Box(
            modifier = Modifier
                .background(Brush.horizontalGradient(colorStops = colorStops))
                .requiredSize(height = maxHeight * 2, width = maxWidth * 2)
                // Also happens with `offset`
                .absoluteOffset(0.dp, 0.dp)
        )
    }
}

That's expected behavior, it centers if you go out of bounds.
If you want to control what happens instead do wrapContentSize() and provide the alignment you want in there.

Ohhh, I had tried that but was putting wrapContentSize after the requiredSize, which caused something weird. This behavior caught me off-guard, though -- should it be the default?

[Mario]

Appreciate the quick response!

[Mario]

I understand that changing this would break a lot of things, though.

[Stylianos Gakis]

Yeah definitely, I don't see this changing ever. It is a decent enough default anyway I think. But perhaps I am saying this only after the fact that I learned about it. Not very unbiased 😄

@Mario it seems to be the intended behaviour https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/constraints-modifiers#requiredsize-modifier
