Bug 244982 – css-pseudo: ::placeholder should not support 'writing-mode', 'direction', and 'text-orientation'

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: CSS

[Ahmad Saleem]

It is to align Webkit with Web-Spec:

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#placeholder-pseudo
> All properties that apply to the ::first-line pseudo-element also apply to the ::placeholder pseudo-element.

and
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#first-line-styling
> User agents may apply other properties as well except for the following excluded properties:
> * writing-mode
> * direction
> * text-orientation

Current Safari Technology Preview 153 behavior is not aligned with Blink / Chromium, Gecko / Firefox and Web-Spec.

Thanks!

It seems that it does not fix WPT test but since it is to align with web-spec, I think it is still good to merge this change. So I pushed it without change request and let's see. Thanks!
