Hey :wave: I’ve got a weird case with text fields ...

# compose

Hey 👋
I’ve got a weird case with text fields here happening on alpha05
I’ve put up a minimum reproducible example here but the Tl;DR is: text fields either don’t seem to be grabbing focus when they should, or they are but still won’t bring up the keyboard.
On the MRE, downgrading compose_version to alpha04 seems to “fix” the issue.
The MRE was created on AS Canary 13 selecting new project -> compose activity.

Here’s a video of the issue

Let me know if you need any more info to look into this

Thanks for raising the issue, Ronnie. From the video it looks like the TextField gains focus, but the keyboard isn't being shown.
This is a known issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/166197099
It should be fixed when this CL lands: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/1456460
