Jetpack compose soft keyboard opens up when switching apps

Question

A weird bug in my current app that was created using Jetpack Compose.

Issue: Once the soft keyboard is opened in the app, due to any screen with TextField, the keyboard is shown every time when switching from a different app to this one.

Unable to provide a minimal reproducible code as I can't figure out which code is causing this issue and I noticed this quite late as I didn't expect a bug when switching apps.

The whole source code is on Github: https://github.com/Abhimanyu14/finance-manager/tree/main/codebase/android.

Kindly comment if any particular code might help.

Adding keyboard-related code I can think of which might have an impact.

The keyboard is hidden whenever composable navigation happens,

Using LocalSoftwareKeyboardController,

val keyboardController = LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current
keyboardController?.hide()

I think it is more related to `FocusRequester` inside `AddTransactionScreenView` — Marat, Mar 29 '22 at 21:10
Looks like a bug, related to the fact that text field is still focused after keyboard is hidden, which is default Android behaviour. You can use [my modifier](https://stackoverflow.com/a/68420874/3585796), which takes the focus off the TF after hiding the keyboard. — Phil Dukhov, Mar 30 '22 at 02:49

This was a bug in compose (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/225541817). It's fixed as of compose 1.2.0-beta02
