Cursor goes to start when BasicTextField gets empty when using TextAlign.Center

[mahozad]

Describe the bug
When removing all the text in a basic text field, the cursor (blinking vertical line) goes to the start of text field instead of staying at center.

Affected platforms

• Desktop (Windows, Linux, macOS)

Versions

• Kotlin version*: 1.9.23
• Compose Multiplatform version*: 1.6.2 (and previous versions)
• OS version(s)* (required for Desktop and iOS issues): Windows 11
• OS architecture (x86 or arm64): x86
• JDK (for desktop issues): 21

To Reproduce

fun main() = application {
    Window(onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication) {
        MyCustomTextField()
    }
}

@OptIn(ExperimentalMaterialApi::class)
@Composable
private fun MyCustomTextField() {
    var text by remember { mutableStateOf("1.2.3.4") }
    val interactionSource = remember(::MutableInteractionSource)
    Box(contentAlignment = Alignment.CenterEnd, modifier = Modifier.width(500.dp)) {
        BasicTextField(
            value = text,
            onValueChange = { text = it },
            cursorBrush = SolidColor(MaterialTheme.colors.onSurface),
            textStyle = LocalTextStyle.current.copy(textAlign = TextAlign.Center), // <<<<<<<<<<<< -------------
            interactionSource = interactionSource,
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .height(36.dp)
                .background(Color.LightGray)
        ) {
            CompositionLocalProvider(LocalLayoutDirection provides LayoutDirection.Ltr) {
                TextFieldDefaults.TextFieldDecorationBox(
                    value = text,
                    innerTextField = it,
                    singleLine = true,
                    enabled = true,
                    placeholder = {
                        Text(
                            text = "hint",
                            style = LocalTextStyle.current.copy(textAlign = TextAlign.Center),
                            fontSize = 9.sp,
                            modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()
                        )
                    },
                    visualTransformation = VisualTransformation.None,
                    interactionSource = interactionSource,
                    contentPadding = TextFieldDefaults.textFieldWithoutLabelPadding(top = 0.dp, bottom = 0.dp)
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

Expected behavior
The cursor should stay at center or there should be an option to customize its behavior.
