created issue #1

Feb 12, 2025 08:40AM

Jetpack Compose version: 1.8.0-beta01

Jetpack Compose component used: androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling

Android Studio Build: #AI-242.23339.11.2421.12700392

Kotlin version: 2.0.20

When you try to use the new autofill semantics functionality on a textfield with a visualTransformation the password manager will store asterisks as the password instead of the actual value, e.g ******** instead of password, rendering the feature useless. If I remove the visual transformation everything works as intended.

Steps to Reproduce or Code Sample to Reproduce:

OutlinedTextField(
  visualTransformation = if (showPassword) VisualTransformation.None else PasswordVisualTransformation(),
  modifier = Modifier.semantics {
    contentType = ContentType.Password
  }
  ...
)

The problem is very serious.
Currently html5 clearRect isn't working within any android 4 devices.
Please, solve this problem as soon as possible.

we have the same problem

We are waiting for a patch since November because none of the workaround we have tried is stable.

We hope that the patch will come before the launching of our app and if not...well, sadly, we will launch the app on iOS and windows only

Still appears to be an issue as I'm getting quirky results when trying clearRect in a loop. #3 solution is good but too heavy to work in a loop.

What about using requestAnimationFrame for loop rather than using a timer loop ?

Marked as fixed.
