Hello. I am using the

Canvas

composable in my compose desktop app. I have found that the

Canvas.onDraw

method is called multiple times although the size of the canvas has not canged. This leads to jank since the drawing is quite intensive. Next to the canvas i have a couple of items that are clickable() so they show hoover feedback for the mouse cursor. Even just hoovering over these unrelated items triggers a redraw of the canvas. Is there a way to circumvent this redrawing?

Can you share your code?

i will try to come up with a smaller example

If you're showing visual indication of hover state I'm guessing that is probably causing the whole layer to redraw. You could try putting a

graphicsLayer

modifier on your Canvas.

Interesting as well i will look into.

Thanks for sharing! So what did you put in the

.graphicsLayer()

modifier to make it work? The hover state animations?
