Repro: <input type="text" placeholder="hoge"> and focus it. In firefox and opera, placeholder value disappears when an input is focused. As a user, I feel weird to see something is already inserted into an empty <input> when it's focused.

This sounds like it could be an intentional design decision. Did you find out why WebKit behaves this way?

Let me invalidate this bug for now. This was my misunderstanding.
