Is

LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current

Supposed to return a new instance every time it's called?
Cause currently it does return a new instance every single time I call it

[Filip Wiesner]

Looking at the implementation it should return the same value everytime it's called because it either uses compositionLocal or remembers DelegatingSoftwareKeyboardController. Can you show how do you use it?

[FunkyMuse]

I wrote an extension to not use the LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current all the time

https://github.com/FunkyMuse/Composed/blob/main/core/src/androidTest/java/com/funkymuse/composed/core/GetterExtensionsKtTest.kt#L236

It fails on API 29 and 30

the keyboardController is actually LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current

[Filip Wiesner]

I am really just guessing here but I think it's because if it remembers the DelegatingSoftwareKeyboardController, it's valid only for that Composable "scope". So when you access LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current again in different composable, it create new instance.
And it only happens if there is no LocalSoftwareKeyboardController composition local provided in the current context.

Because LocalSoftwareKeyboardController is not a simple compositionLocal
