I've got a lazy column of text lines wrapped with a SelectionContainer. It works quite nicely as long as I don't scroll, if I scroll, the selection simply stops randomly, like if I released the mouse click. I think there was an issue related to this but I haven't been able to find it, I'll create one otherwise.

Sample to reproduce it:

SelectionContainer {
        LazyColumn {
            items(100) {
                Text("Line number $it")
            }
        }
    }

I've also noticed some items can be skipped like in the attached image.

Text selection in lazy columns is quite buggy in general, not sure if I can do something to improve it. CodeViewer demo has the same issue.

Playing around this issue a bit more, I've found that it happens whenever the first items selected is scrolled out (so no longer visible). Yikes

The issue seems to be present also in Android

this feels like a compose issue than desktop specific. i would have mentioned in in #compose or open an issue if i were you

Yeah, I've done it. In case someone else is interested:
