Hey guys, I had a question. Does anybody knows why 
TextField
has some sort of padding, that causes the content cut (Please look at attached image)? And how I can eliminate it? Just please consider I don’t want to decrease font size or increase the height of 
TextField
or 
OutlinedTextField
to match the content. I am looking for another way. I also tried 
Modifier.padding
on the textField and didn’t matter. Thank you in advance.

Did you set a hardcoded height on this text field? Material variant comes with built in vertical paddings, so reducing the overall height will cause the content to get clipped.

Yes. I’ve set a hardcoded height. Because the default height is much and the UI isn’t impressive. When I removed the hardcoded height, the output was like the image attached ⬇️

Material is a specific opinionated design system. If you're looking for more fine grained control, at some point you'll need to take over and create your own composeable(s).

This is disappointing. I hoped to find a standard way to do that. But it seems there is no way. Create a custom composable maybe time consuming. Anyway, Thank you for your responses. That was great help. 🙏
I found may I have to customize the 
BasicTextField
to reach to the goal. The padding is because of decorations.

One the more important goals of Compose is to make it easy to build your own components by providing the right building blocks.

I don't know if this is related, but I had some similar issue https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C01D6HTPATV/p1616079420040300

Thank you. Yes, It seems the same problem. I found that extra margins may reserved for decorations. Because I can not see this problem in the 
BasicTextField
. I followed-up the source code of the 
TextField
and I have realized that decorations, label and … need some room, and the this margin reserved for them. Also, in the Material them guidelines, it seems a standard behavior, although I don’t like it.
