This is the first time I’ve tried aligning / justifying text in compose. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? I’m trying to right-justify the text, but it’s not working.

Column(
    Modifier
        .fillMaxSize()
        .padding(20.dp)
) {
    Text(
        text = "Test test test asdfasdfa sfj aslf lajsdlf jlajdsfl jlasjf jaslkfj klajdfl jaslf lkasjfljaslk f",
        style = typography.h3,
        color = Color.White,
        textAlign = TextAlign.End,
        modifier = Modifier.background(Color.Black),
    )
}

That doesn't look right

[spierce7]

my code or the result?

[Siyamed]

Result

[Siyamed]

Right justify is right align right?

[spierce7]

I would assume

[Siyamed]

What happens when you h3.copy(textAling = end) instead of passing as s parameter

[Siyamed]

I wonder if the error us material text or text itself

[Siyamed]

I mean the theming

[Siyamed]

Also is it material.Text or foundation.Text(which is now deprecated)

[spierce7]

val typography = MaterialTheme.typography

[spierce7]

style = typography.h3.copy(textAlign = TextAlign.End),

has the same result

[Siyamed]

Can you please create a bug. Is device on LTR locale?

[spierce7]

I’m assuming it’s on LTR Locale

[Siyamed]

Also does TextAlign.Right behave the same? Is it alpha7? Alpha6?

[spierce7]

I haven’t changed it. I also can’t Center text

[Siyamed]

Looks like a cleaaar unexpected bug. Not sure how it happened

[spierce7]

this is desktop compose.

[Siyamed]

Oooo

[Siyamed]

I see

[Siyamed]

I am sorry apologies, i got the notification but didnt pay attention to the channel

[Siyamed]

Yes text alignment is handled at the platform dependent code.
