I'm trying to use a text with an HTML <b>-Tag for a compose Text(). The HTML-text is converted to a Spannable via HtmlCompat.fromHtml() and then to an AnnotatedString which applies a bold SpanStyle. See the example project: https://github.com/hardysim/htmlbtest.

This works fine in the actual app as well as in the compose preview in "Android Studio Dolphin | 2021.3.1 Patch 1" using AGP 7.3.1. But it stops working when using "Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1 RC 1". I get the following error for the preview:

This is also a problem when using paparazzi to generate snapshot images. The newer paparazzi 1.2 (snapshot version, 1.2.0-20221214.164218-18 to be exact) seems to bring AGP 7.4.0-rc01 with it and with AGP maybe a new layoutlib version?. As soon as I use the new paparazzi version, it overrides my locally defined AGP version and the snapshot-generation fails with the same error I get for the preview in Android Studio.

Other tags like <i> or <u> are still working fine. Maybe it's related to Html.handleEndTag() which adds a fontWeightAdjustment to the SpanStyle for <b>- and <strong>-Tags but that's as far as I got investigating.
