Hey, I was working on implementing a wrappable Text compose function that doesn’t overlap any other view in the same row and instead takes all the available space and becomes a multiline text view. The problem is that even if it was wrapContent, it took all the available space while measuring (typical behaviour).  I needed the width of multiline text to be the same as the X coordinate of the last letter in the longest row to match my design’s paddings.

I had to create a custom `Layout` and measure it in multiple layout passes as you can’t call `measurables.measure()` multiple times in the same `layout` section.
Do you guys plan on opening MultiMeasureLayout API that’s internally used in ConstraintLayout so I don’t have to do multiple layout passes and just remeasure my view in one layout pass? Or is there any better solution to my problem you know about?

I didn't understand your question completely but I'd suggest you give a try to <https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/layout/package-summary#subcomposelayout|SubcomposeLayout> from the few keywords I picked up.

Can you post the code you tried to write to implement this? Also sounds like something that intrinsics might be good for
