It would be nice if you could show me where we lose reactivity and why this is needed. I am hoping we can solve this without this complexity.
In my mind, the component should re-render when the prop changes, and then we recalculate the padding based on the new props.

It does re-render when the prop changes and it does recalculate the padding. The problem is this all happens before the dom updates, so it is the old values. In Input, this works correctly, but in TextField, which wraps Input we get the delayed dom update 🤷

I understand now. The reason why it was not working as expected for the TextField component was that we always passed the rightAdornments property.
I added the hasRightAdornments check so that we only pass it when unit or inputIcon are defined in the props.
…r inputIcon is defined

I think this is a good solution, but you should probably test and confirm @oddvernes
resolves #3354
I could not find any other way to make this work then forcing a re-render in
