Test case to reproduce the issue

Just using the following test case, where an <input> has the -webkit-column property applied, causes that the placeholder text and any text you try to write in the input to be painted out of the input itself.

Example HTML:
<style>
input {
    -webkit-columns: 5;
}
</style>
<input placeholder="testing" />

I am not able to reproduce this in Safari Technology Preview 171 and typing anything in input field does not overwrite over Placeholder text and also not writing if you type a lot in text to make text overflow, it does not cause any issue. Similar to Chrome Canary 116.

Do we need to track it or can mark this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED"?

Yeah, we certainly don't do that for single line text entries anymore.
