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 🙂
