Validation message disappears for a split-second when fields blur

[davestewart]

Describe the bug

If a validation error is showing and I tab to another form field, the error disappears for a split-second, then reappears.

This is both distracting and causes layout shift.

To Reproduce

• hit the demo here
• open the dev tools
• click between the form fields
• see the flash on the screen and the error logs in the console

Expected behavior

All validation messages should remain

Additional context

I saw this in one of the website demos, but I can't seem to find it now.

P.S. Hey Abdelrahman!

It seems that the error for the first field is removed at the point of hitting Tab:

Hey Dave, nice to see you here.

I believe this is because we reset the errors at the start of each validation run. Usually layout shift is the user responsibility to preserve that space with padding or whatever.

Still, if it helps that we move the clearing till right before the new errors are populated, then maybe we should do it. I will take a look into that.
