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).

Still occurs using material = 1.8.0.

Using:

androidxCompose = "1.6.0-alpha01"
androidxComposeMaterial3 = "1.2.0-alpha03"

androidx-compose-material = { group = "androidx.compose.material", name = "material", version.ref = "androidxCompose" }
androidx-compose-material3 = { group = "androidx.compose.material3", name = "material3", version.ref = "androidxComposeMaterial3" }

and it works fine
