In this example, the selected text and the highlighting fades with the Crossfade, but the "thumbs" do not (they abruptly disappear when the animation ends). Is there something I need to do differently to get them to fade as well?

@Composable
fun SelectableTextAnimation() {
    var text by remember { mutableStateOf("Select some of this text then click 'Clear'")}
    Column {
        Button(onClick = { text = "" },
        ) {
            Text(text = "Clear")
        }
        Crossfade(targetState = text, animationSpec = tween(3000)) { currText ->
            SelectionContainer {
                Text(text = currText)
            }
        }
    }
}

The text selection handles are in a different window iirc. @Siyamed

[Siyamed]

Selection handles are popup's (yes different windows)

[Siyamed]

Currently we do not have direct access to those (selection handles)

[Rick Regan]

Unless you object, I'm inclined to write an issue, because as a user, the handles and the highlighting are part of the same thing. You may not be able to fix it but ...

[Siyamed]

sure please create an issue.
