Description

Some components have the helper text div altho the HelperText is empty (e.g. ""). In some cases this causes a minimal but undesired spacing attached below the component. I did not test all components but found those:

Found in TextInput and TextArea: Helper text div with visible spacing.

Found in CheckboxGroup: Helper text div is present but does not add spacing. The additional spacing is probably not visible in this case due to the bottom padding of checkbox items. Altho the bottom padding on the last checkbox item is unnecessary.

Steps to reproduce

Set the helperText property of a component to helperText=""
Inspect to see helper text div altho helperText is empty.
