Yesterday, I faced an issue detecting clicks in a TextField. After fixing the problem, I wrote a Medium article on how to detect clicks in a TextField.

Just read the article, and while I think everything about it is correct, my experience on desktop (while I was trying to answer your question) is that the `interactionSource` no longer emits events the moment there's text in the field.

It feels like a bug in Compose Desktop, but I'm not quite sure of that.

I didn't notice it at first, but I actually want to show a bottom sheet when I click on the TextField. I didn't check for the click event when there was text. However, every time I click on the TextField, regardless of whether there is selected text or not, the click event is triggered. I confirmed this using debug mode.
