Description Kyle Fox 2010-09-28 15:17:55 PDT 
First noticed in Version 5.0.1 (6533.17.8, r68419)

Placeholder text does not disappear when the <input> element has the autofocus attribute (either short-hand or normal syntax).

To reproduce:

    1. Create a text input with the autofocus attribute and some placeholder text: <input type="text" placeholder="Your name" autofocus="true" />

    2. Focus on a different element (eg: click the page background or something).

    3. Return focus to the input.  You'll notice the placeholder text doesn't automatically disappear, and is now selectable.

I created a demo page here (remember to click the background first): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/780754/webkit_bug.html

I recorded a quick screencapture of this: http://screenr.com/yB4
