[Bug]: Dropdown popup renders below the helper text instead of over it #2198

Description

@soulcramer

Outcome

The Dropdown popup overlays the helper text field rather than rendering beneath it.

Problem

In Dropdown, the dropdownContent popup appears below the helper field instead of overlaying it, causing a broken visual layout. Confirmed in #lbc-spark-android.

Context

Current behaviour: the popup is positioned after the helper text in the layout stack, so it renders below it. This cannot be fixed until the FormField component lands on Android — this issue is blocked on that dependency.
Source file: spark/src/main/kotlin/com/adevinta/spark/components/textfields/Dropdown.kt

Scope

  • Reposition the dropdownContent popup so it overlays the helper text once FormField is available on Android.

Acceptance criteria

  • The Dropdown popup appears over the helper text, not below it.
  • A UI test confirms the popup z-order relative to the helper field.
