None of the solutions in this question solved the issue.
Create a new Android project > Empty Activity
Add/update the following dependency (versions) in gradle/libs.versions.toml
androidxComposeAlpha = "1.11.1" composeBom = "2026.05.00" androidx-compose-foundation = { group = "androidx.compose.foundation", name = "foundation", version.ref = "androidxComposeAlpha" }In MainActivity.kt replace the content within Scaffold with
Scaffold(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) { innerPadding -> val modifier = Modifier .fillMaxSize() .padding(innerPadding) .consumeWindowInsets(innerPadding) .windowInsetsPadding( WindowInsets.safeDrawing, ) Box(modifier) { val textFieldState = rememberTextFieldState( "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Donec suscipit metus et leo molestie, vel tristique neque accumsan.".repeat( 5, ), ) BasicTextField(textFieldState) } }Run the app.
Click/touch at the bottom of the text field to initiate text input. The screen keyboard opens but there is unnecessary padding between the bottom of the Scaffold and above the screen keyboard.
Opening the layout inspector shows the padding is not a part of any components.
Moving the cursor in the text field redraws and the unnecessary padding disappears. The Scaffold adjusts its bounds to be as expected.
The expected behavior is the Scaffold adjusts it's bounds on the initial click/touch towards the bottom of the text input, not after the cursor is adjusted.
This happens on a device and emulator.
Does anyone have updated solutions for this problem?
