ConstraintLayout GONE view occupies space

I have a `ViewHolder` with the header on top and that header becomes visible in a specific case. In most other cases, the header is set as `GONE`. The problem is that when a header is set as GONE, its height is still calculated and other views are `spread` differently (with more space between). Here is a layout blueprint: Blueprint explanation: - The header is constrained to `top`, `left` and `right`. - Two views below are in `packed chain`, constrained to a header on `top`, `ImageView` to the `right` and parent to the `left` and `bottom`. And here is a screenshot from the layout inspector with highlighted header view which is set as `GONE`: According to documentation, the header view, when set to `GONE` should be shrunk to point with constraints from other views still applied to it, but the header should not occupy layout space and affect the height of the `ConstraintLayout` as it is set as `wrap_content`. In this inspector screenshot, it's not clear what happened actually. The header is not visible, a bottom view is obviously constrained to parent top, but the header is still shown in the inspector as full width with specified height. I'm not sure if this is a bug or I should force `ConstraintLayout` to re-measure itself.

Here is a screenshot of layout state before and after the click to the `favorite` icon to one of the items. Screenshots explanation: - On the left side, `ViewHolder` with visible `header` view is on `position: 2`. Items above are displayed correctly. - After click on `favorite` icon (item with value 242), `ViewHolder` on `position: 1` is the one with visible `header` view, while the `ViewHolder` on `position: 2` have `header` view set as `GONE`. I was expecting for `ViewHolder` height to decrease and have the same height as `ViewHolder` on `position: 0`. Having in mind that this `ViewHolder` had `header` set to `VISIBLE` in previous state, it might have something with recycling, not sure.
