Description
**Description:** Material 3 appears to have regressed [this](https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/issues/475) issue. A badge containing numbers overlaps the text so much that it obscures the last letter of the label.
**Expected behavior:** The label should not be obscured
**Source code:**
_activity_main.xml_
```
```
_MainActivity.kt - onCreate_
```
TabLayoutMediator(tabs, viewPager) { tab, position ->
val badge = tab.getOrCreateBadge()
badge.number = 1
tab.text = resources.getString(TAB_TITLES[position])
}.attach()
```
**Android API version:** Tested on API 29
**Material Library version:** com.google.android.material:material:1.5.0
**Device:** AVD - Nexus 4

Research direction
Reproduce the overlap using activity_main.xml and the MainActivity.kt onCreate code with TabLayoutMediator, API 29, and Material 1.5.0. Start by inspecting the TabLayout badge and tab-label behavior; done means numeric badges no longer obscure the final character of tab labels.
