Created attachment 98565 [details] testcase with different alignments\directions Before r72052, if a textbox had "text-align: center" style, its placeholder also appeared in the middle (same goes for "text-align: right" accordingly) but since then, the placeholder is always aligned to the left for regular direction input elements (and to the right for dir="rtl" elements) This is now affecting Chromium's DOM-UI options for Hebrew\Arabic UI since many input elements there were edited recently to have right alignment to properly support URLs and patterns (intentionally not using dir=ltr which isn't correct for such content). Note: This issue is different than bug 54814 which is about the support for webkit-input-placeholder which got lost in r72052 also related but different: Bug 54797 REGRESSION (r72052): Placeholder text isn't centered with a large line-height Tested using windows build
small correction in the summary: intentionally not using dir=*rtl*
