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?

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. 

Late update but your were right about the .graphicsLayer() modifier. It does resolve to redraw issue.

Thanks for sharing!
So what did you put in the `.graphicsLayer()` modifier to make it work? The hover state animations?
