Emoji in placeholder text should be faded out just like the rest of the text. What went wrong? Emoji in placeholder text is fully visible. Reproducible on Safari 12.1.2 (14607.3.9). 1564030 1 jeffreyca16 2019-08-22 07:03:02 -0700 The fix should be a matter of changing the 'color' property of the 'placeholder' element to use an RGBA opacity value (e.g. rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.54)) instead of darkGray in /Source/WebCore/css/html.css, and updating test cases. 1564212 2 webkit-bug-importer 2019-08-22 14:07:19 -0700 <rdar://problem/54613515> 1655536 3 mmaxfield 2020-05-22 17:46:34 -0700 Firefox fades the emoji, Chrome doesn't. 1900942 4 ahmad.saleem792 2022-09-24 16:22:03 -0700 (In reply to Myles C. Maxfield from comment #3) > Firefox fades the emoji, Chrome doesn't. Chrome mark the bug mentioned in Comment 0 as "WONTFIX" but someone comment that it seems to be fixed on Chrome 88 using Windows Platform but testing on Chrome Canary 108 using macOS 12.6, I still get same behavior as you mentioned and "emoji" does not fade. Safari 16, STP 154 and Chrome Canary 108 does not fade "emoji" while Firefox Nightly 107 does fade emoji. Just wanted to share updated input. Thanks! 1900943 5 ahmad.saleem792 2022-09-24 16:27:12 -0700 Does not have anything in UA stylesheet from standard: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#highlight-ua-styles but has following - UAs may apply additional effects to enhance the presentation of highlighted content, for example dimming content other than the highlighted text.
