This is a different bug, in the number input control itself. The internal <div> containing the placeholder should have the same size and position as the <div> containing the value, but it does not. Bug 1637874 is very similar but not the same (the test case there displays the same problem if text-align: right; is applied to it).

Can you attach a test-case that reproduces the issue please?

I can't set r?, setting f? instead.

Alessandro, what do you think about this workaround to fix it under TB 78? I tried to set margin and others. Nothing helped. Only the text-align: start worked. It's not optimal but the placeholder text is fully readable.

I'm not sure about this.
As Geoff reported, this seems an issue of the toolkit and should be fixed in 1637874.
I don't think we should add this temporary workaround that we will end up removing.

This bug is not fixed at all.
I think it is better to use attachment 9167651 [details] [diff] [review] even temporarily.
After use, it will be modified as shown in the image.
