Why would a `Text` composable misalign its text like this in some situations (_seemingly, only on a Huawei P30 Pro_)?

Ive already published a <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/210008244|bug report> (with the code), but fail to see how it can get fixed considering how rare it is. So I thought Id ask here!

What text are you talking about specifically. "Group 1"?

<@UN85K2RQR> The duration near the top, 1:13:04 and 08:58!

Try wrapping the text in a SelectionContainer to see if it has some leading whitespace

<@U019VGGVC31> Thanks for the tip, Im unable to recreate the issue on any of my devices but Ill potentially push an update just to test it. Im using `DateUtils.formatElapsedTime`  and I cant find any issues about additional whitespace being included (in the english locale) :disappointed:

What app is this. I have like two huaweis I could try lol

<@UN85K2RQR> Oh, I appreciate that! Which devices do you have? The release is available in the <https://play.google.com/apps/testing/workout.progression.lite|beta channel> currently. You can open the screen above by tapping start workout and then the check-mark in the top bar!

I will try it when I'm back at my desk. I gotta make sure I can find the huawei devices (i definitely have them... somewhere)

<@UN85K2RQR> Great! No stress :slightly_smiling_face:

Wouldn't be the first time an OEM broke the framework.

Oh, your bug report says it didn't happen in earlier versions.

Another idea; is the user in a RTL locale?

Hes using LTR, English locale. I even rewrote the formatting logic for durations, just to be sure - no difference.

Since it worked in earlier compose releases, it has to be compose related - but I have no idea what could be causing it :smiling_face_with_tear:

<@UN85K2RQR> Just curious, did you embark on the quest to find two lucky Huawei phones? :santa::skin-tone-4:

i will sign up for the beta later today and test it for you

<@UN85K2RQR> Yay, awesome! I really appreciate it, this is one of those scenarios where I wish I had access to literary every Android phone out there.

<@UN85K2RQR> Yup, thats the way it should look! Thank you for checking, makes the other issue seem even more strange to me. Which phone was this on?

<@UN85K2RQR> Gotcha, thanks again for testing it! Hopefully a future compose release sorts the underlying issue out, whatever it is.. :slightly_smiling_face:
