When using the

androidx.compose.foundation.text.BasicTextField

that accepts a

string

over a

TextFieldValue

by default the component does not set the cursor selection to the end of the provided string. This is problematic when using the software keyboard to move focus to the next field using the IME Actions. The cursor position will then default to the start. I provided an example using the

OutlinedTextField

. I understand that I can switch to using the textFieldValue implementation but it just seems odd that the default behavior does not initialize the cursor selection to the end of the initially provided value. Is this really the intention, a bug, or am I missing something?
