Jetpack Compose ExposedDropdownMenu not showing up when pressed

Time:10-05

I'm working on a Jetpack Compose (1.3.0-beta03) and Material3 (1.0.0-beta03) app.

I'd like to show the user a simple dropdown with different languages, and the following code isn't very different from what you'll find online:

@OptIn(ExperimentalMaterial3Api::class)
@Composable
fun Settings() {
    val languages = listOf("it", "en", "de", "ro", "fr", "es")

    var expanded by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
    var selectedOptionText by remember { mutableStateOf("ro") }

    ExposedDropdownMenuBox(
        modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp),
        expanded = expanded,
        onExpandedChange = { expanded = !expanded },
    ) {
        TextField(
            readOnly = true,
            value = selectedOptionText,
            onValueChange = {},
            label = { Text(stringResource(R.string.default_reading_language)) },
            trailingIcon = { ExposedDropdownMenuDefaults.TrailingIcon(expanded = expanded) },
            colors = ExposedDropdownMenuDefaults.textFieldColors(),
            modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()
        )
        ExposedDropdownMenu(
            expanded = expanded,
            onDismissRequest = { expanded = false }
        ) {
            languages.forEach {
                DropdownMenuItem(
                    text = { Text(it) },
                    onClick = {
                        selectedOptionText = it
                        expanded = false
                    }
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

Running on the emulator show the Textfield correctly, but if I click on it, does not show the dropdown. It also set the correct option ("ro"), as expected.

No clue on how to fix this.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

With M2 your code works well.

With M3 you have to pass the menuAnchor modifier to the TextField (it was introduced with enter image description here
