When

TextField

from material package is extended in height, it aligns the default cursor position to center. However, this behavior does not appear in

BasicTextField

. I've checked the code but couldn't pinpoint the exact place where this is decided. Is there a way to disable this behavior in

TextField

so that typing starts at the top, instead of center?

I think in the current implementation of

TextField

the

BasicTextField

is not getting the height modifier you pass. I assume when you are changing the height with

Modifier

then only the

TextFieldLayout

is getting bigger not

BasicTextField

. so as of Alpha-07 there is no way to change it.
