Research direction

Start with the attached TextInputLayout.zip and reproduce the issue using Material Library 1.11.0-rc01, observing the hint during initial rendering and at runtime. Trace the TextInputLayout layout behavior around the start icon; the work is done when the hint is not placed under the icon, including during the first frames.
