Description Paul Irish 2010-12-18 10:49:36 PST

When using <textarea placeholder="long long value which ..."> the text does not wrap.

The spec isn't very clear about correct handling of line-wrapping, but I can't imagine this is correct behavior.

Test case: http://jsfiddle.net/6hb7g/o

Regression -> P1

Comment 4 Adele Peterson 2010-12-20 10:34:35 PST

ok.  I'll have to figure something out.  I really don't want to go back to swapping the text in and out, but maybe we do need a RenderText object for the placeholder to get this right.

Comment 6 Adele Peterson 2010-12-20 14:37:42 PST

Do we know of any real world sites that have placeholders that hit this bug?

Comment 7 Stefan Pauwels 2011-02-14 05:05:41 PST

One real world site that hits this bug: cuuks.com
Add 2 or more ingredients on http://cuuks.com/combine
Chrome does not wrap the text (thereby hiding part of it), while firefox does.

an other public url is for instance : http://www.mygaytrip.com/guide/lords-south-beach-hotel

The text area at the end it correct in current Safari (5.0.5) but break in nightly webkit
