hmmm, my implementation of a thing similar to aboves SearchTextFieldDropdown:
if I put Column { for (i in 1..100) { Text("item $i") } inside a `@Composable DropdownMenu()`'s dropdownContent
the dropdown "disapears" if height is larger than the window height
(and I cannot put it into an explicit LazyColumn as dropdownContent Clause is already a ColumnScope
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? (or is DrowdownMenu not meant to show things with height > Window.height?)

The current drop-down implementation is limited to the window bounds. Right now you'd need to rollout your own implementation, probably based on JWindow and ComposePanel

[Dirk Hoffmann]

yeah ... just also realized, that if the DropDown is visible and I resize the window a few times (making it smaller than the dropdown, bigger, small, bigger - while continuously holding the mouse key, you start first seeing white-non repainted areas and then the redrawing completely ... hmm, let's say "gives up"

[Dirk Hoffmann]

but this doesn't happen to be the case "all" the times ...

[Dirk Hoffmann]

also I wonder (completely different topic) why I connot make the Dropdown visible again (with its former contents) on clicking on trailingIcon `TextField`s

trailingIcon = {
                    IconButton(
                        onClick = { println("trailing search icon click") ; searchPopupVisibleState.value = true }
                    ) {
                        Icon(Icons.TwoTone.Search, contentDescription = "Top Search")
                    }
                },

onClick is not called at all, on pressing the trailingIcon
(same with leadingIcon)
