Floating hint of TextBox is cut off

[reiseder]

The floating hint of a TextBox is cut off even if it looks like there is enough space available. The hint doesn't go to the end of the TextBox either as demonstrated with the third TextBox in my example.

I'm using version 4.5.0 of MaterialDesignThemes.

Repository with example code.

Yes, I've noticed that too. It's been around for a while.

What I think is happening: When the hint is in resting position (not floating and inside the TextBox as placeholder), the SmartHint control is cut off. Then, when the TextBox control is focused, the SmartHint gets floated above the user input. At this moment some animations are happening, which change the scale and opacity of the SmartHint.

I got lost inside the animation code but my guess is one of following is the issue:

• The width of the SmartHint gets scaled
• There is no TextWrapping with overflow
• The ContentControl inside SmartHint does not detect more space after floating
