Cursor position is displayed on the left edge when textAlign is set to center in BasicTextField

[Yasuyuki Sugitani]

Describe the bug
When setting textAlign to TextAlign.Center in BasicTextField (and TextField) on iOS, the cursor position is displayed on the left edge when focused. On Android, it is displayed in the center as expected.

Affected platforms

• iOS

Versions

• Kotlin version: 1.9.23
• Compose Multiplatform version: 1.6.2
• OS version(s): iOS 17.4
• Device: iPhone 15 Pro Simulator

To Reproduce

1. Create a new Compose Multiplatform project
2. Add the following code:

@Composable
@Preview
fun App() {
    var text by remember { mutableStateOf("") }

    MaterialTheme {
        BasicTextField(
            value = text,
            onValueChange = { text = it },
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .background(Color.LightGray)
                .padding(18.dp),
            maxLines = Int.MAX_VALUE,
            textStyle = TextStyle.Default.copy(
                textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
            ),
        )
    }
}

3. Run the app on an iOS Simulator
4. Tap the BasicTextField to focus it
5. The cursor is displayed on the left edge

Expected behavior
Since textAlign in BasicTextField is set to TextAlign.Center, the cursor should be displayed in the center of the text field on iOS, just like on Android.

Additional context
The same behavior was observed when using TextField. Regardless of the textAlign value, the cursor is always displayed on the left edge on iOS.
