Description

How is the component supposed to handle horizontal system insets? The current behavior is definitely wrong, but there is no information in the documentation about how it's supposed to be.

Research direction

Start by reading the NavigationView implementation and its Android system-inset handling. Compare the current horizontal behavior with the intended Material Design and Android guidance, since the issue provides no expected behavior or file/test entry point. Done means the horizontal inset behavior is defined in documentation and the component follows that definition.
