There is a report about it in kotlinlang Slack: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C01D6HTPATV/p1706005056105739

Thanks for the report!

The release notes documentation has been edited to clarify this change in behavior for line height.

To support non-standard text sizes, we encourage users to follow the Material design system and use a different type scale rather than changing the font size directly. Alternatively, users can overwrite the line height like so: style = LocalTextStyle.current.copy(lineHeight = TextUnit.Unspecified), or create a custom Typography entirely.

In my case, I have multiple font sizes in the same Text (using SpanStyle in AnnotatedString). There are legitimate reasons for this. For example, when combining Chinese and English (phonetic) together (for language-learning purposes).

The following release(s) address this bug.It is possible this bug has only been partially addressed:

• androidx.compose.material:material:1.5.0-beta01
• androidx.compose.material3:material3:1.2.0-alpha02
• androidx.compose.material3:material3-android:1.2.0-alpha02
