Description
Describe the bug
This issue(https://github.com/HandyOrg/HandyControl/issues/1489) has not been resolved. We should set a fixed width for the Clear Button.
Fixed:
- [Fixed width mode] The input box always retains the position of the Clear button. Although the input space is reduced, the layout remains unchanged.
This is my solution:
https://github.com/CodingOctocat/Firefly/blob/master/Firefly/Styles/FixedHandyControlTextBoxPlusTemplate.xaml
https://github.com/CodingOctocat/Firefly/blob/master/Firefly/Styles/FixedHandyControlSearchBarPlusTemplate.xaml
https://github.com/CodingOctocat/Firefly/blob/master/Firefly/Styles/FixedHandyControlComboBoxEditableLeftTemplate.xaml
- [Overlay mode] Another solution is to have the Clear button cover the top, but if the user wants to select text from the right, they will click on the Clear button. So I think [Fixed width mode] is better.
(By the way, This is HandyControls 3.6.0 behavior)
Steps to reproduce the bug
Create a input control with InfoElement.ShowClearButton or see the HandyControl Demo.

Research direction
Start with the HandyControl Demo and controls using InfoElement.ShowClearButton, then compare their templates with the referenced FixedHandyControlTextBoxPlusTemplate.xaml, FixedHandyControlSearchBarPlusTemplate.xaml, and FixedHandyControlComboBoxEditableLeftTemplate.xaml files. Done means the Clear button keeps a fixed position when enabled without preventing normal text selection.
