I would also highlight “Enable Nested Scroll interop between Compose and View in the direction Compose &gt; View. This means that a compose parent will be able to receive nested scroll deltas from a nested scroll view.” <https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/2038823|Commit>

Uhm, did the font padding thing change again?

I think I saw something in issuetracker where things like line height and stuff will be applied to a single line of text (whereas before it only applied on multiple lines), but AFAIK font padding is disabled by default since like 2 versions ago.

Based on feedback for 1.2 we changed default font padding, kept the api to turn it off

Oh. So it defaults to font padding enabled now?
