[TextInputLayout] TextInputLayout falls down 12dp when hintEnabled is set to "false"

Description: The TextInputLayout falls down 12dp when floating label is disabled using app:hintEnabled="false" and when placed in a LinearLayout.

Screenshot -

Expected behavior: TextInputLayout on the left has Floating Label disabled by using app:hintEnabled=false and TextInputLayout on the right has Floating Label Enabled. The left one falls down, when it should not and stay aligned with the right one. Error is enabled in both the Fields.

Source code:

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
            style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox"
            android:layout_width="200dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:errorEnabled="true"
            app:hintEnabled="false" >

            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="Floating Label/Hint Disabled" />

        </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
            style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox"
            android:layout_width="200dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:errorEnabled="true"
            android:hint="Floating Label/Hint Enabled" >

            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Android API version: 28

Material Library version: implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0'

Device: Android Studio Preview Window and Redmi 4X (India)

Workaround: If I offset the top margin by 12 dp - android:marginTop="-12dp", it aligns with right one.

Does it look better if you set android:baselineAligned="false" to the linearlayout?

I think it’s a duplicate of #1113. Let’s close this one and move the discussion there to better track the issue.
