I have a couple numeric input fields that change size when selected to edit value.

I would like them not to change size.

I cannot find any props that seem related to changing size when editing.

I discovered that the left and right margins cause this behavior.

Removing the margins from the numeric input, and adding the margins to the container fixed the issue.
