Consider following Composable.

Box(
    modifier = Modifier
        .size(100.dp)
        .background(Color.Blue)
        .clickable {
            // parent click listener
            Timber.d("parent click")
        }
) {
    Box(
        modifier = Modifier
            .size(50.dp)
            .background(Color.Red)
    ) {
        // children
    }

    // ...
}

When clicking on the red Box the parent Composable consumes the click event even though the red box is in front of it.
This looks like a weird default behavior to be. Different from the View system....

However when the red Box has a click listener of its own the behavior is correct and the red Box click listener is triggered.

Is there a better way to let the red Box consume the event without putting an explicit clickable modifier on it?

I don't think so. The simplest solution is adding Modifier.pointerInput(Unit) { detectTapGesturs {} } to the red box

If you don't specify a pointer event listener on red box, it won't listen for it.
