Marked as fixed.

As a workaround using reflection

try {
    Class
        .forName("androidx.compose.material3.TabRowKt")
        .getDeclaredField("ScrollableTabRowMinimumTabWidth").apply {
            isAccessible = true
        }.set(this, 0f)
} catch (e: Exception) {
    e.printStackTrace()
}
