Description
## Summary of the bug
When text fields are resized to have a small width, the remaining space for the character count and validation becomes very small and the two elements interfere with one another.
## 🪜 How to reproduce
1. Create a Text field with a small defined width
2. Enter above character limit
3. See the error
## 🧐 Expected behaviour
The validation message and character count should be spaced out nicely

- Stack elements
- Move character count to title line (top right)
- Positioning dependent on width/breakpoint?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the ic-text-field component and reproduce the issue using a small defined width and input above the character limit. Compare the validation message and character count against the expected spaced layout, then confirm the chosen responsive behavior at narrow widths.
