Is it expected that a text field (BasicTextField) stops working (no keyboard, no focus) if the parent has `clickable(enabled=false, onClick=...)`? This used to work.

That makes sense to me. If you want focus while not being editable, try readOnly = true instead of enabled = false.

The clickable modifier is applied to a parent, up in the hierarchy, unrelated to the text field. You can read this the other way: applying `clickable(enabled=false)` to a node, breaks all text fields contained in it.

oh sorry. i missed the "if the parent". I read it as "if the composable" Sorry!

Turns out it’s considered intended behavior! <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/215403275>
Compose is treating `clickable(enabled=false)` as a signal that the element is disabled (kind of like View.isEnabled), which seems weird to me. If I just disable node own clicks, it should not become a black hole for all interactions.

Huh, that's really surprising that it would even disable focus
