say i have a column like this:

Column(Modifier.wrapContentHeight()) {
    Box(Modifier.fillMaxWidth().weight(1f).background(Color.Red)) { ... }
    Box(Modifier.fillMaxWidth().height(100.dp).background(Color.Blue)) { ... }
}

i was expecting the Modifier.wrapContentHeight() to compress the weight(1f) down such that both of the inner boxes would simply wrap their own content (since this was how it worked with vertical linear layouts). but i found that the weight(1f) still caused the Column to expand to fill its maximum height regardless.

basically i’m wondering if there is a way for me to control whether the weight(1f) expands or not simply by passing a modifier to the parent `Column`… my current workaround is adding a fillMaxHeight: Boolean parameter to my composable function to decide whether or not the weight(1f) is applied but it felt kind of dirty

weight has a second parameter 🙂
