Yesterday i had the same problem during implementing the countdown timer for the dev challenge.

Here's the issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/180021390

hmm it says that it is duplicate. And the other issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/180124293 is already fixed.

yeah, I think it will be fixed in later beta version

I've just stumbled now on it .... what a consolation, I give up for today!

I just implemented my own dialog. To be able to continue: (It is not a dialog just an overlay)

@Composable
fun SetTimerDialog(currentSeconds: Int, newSecondsSet: (seconds: Int?) -> Unit) {
    var textValue by remember { mutableStateOf(currentSeconds.toString()) }
    Box(Modifier.fillMaxSize().zIndex(10f).background(Color.Black.copy(alpha = 0.75f)), contentAlignment = Alignment.Center) {
        Surface(shape = MaterialTheme.shapes.medium) {
            Column(Modifier.padding(16.dp)) {
                Text("Set count down in seconds.", Modifier.padding(bottom = 4.dp))
                TextField(
                    value = textValue,
                    onValueChange = { textValue = it },
                    keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions(
                        autoCorrect = false,
                        keyboardType = KeyboardType.Number,
                        imeAction = ImeAction.Done
                    ),
                    keyboardActions = KeyboardActions(onAny = { newSecondsSet(textValue.toInt()) })
                )
            }
        }
    }
}
