1691932 - Task input placeholder text returns prematurely and hides unfinished input text when unfocused

Status: NEW

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, defect)

Description

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

Attachment: Screencast (.mp4): Over-zealous new-task placeholder

When adding tasks, this is quite irritating:

STR

1. start typing new task title, but don't confirm
2. Click somewhere else (e.g. on another task to copy something)
3. click on the task input field again

Actual result

• after step 2: when task input loses focus with an unfinished task title, the placeholder text ("Click here to add a new task") immediately returns and covers the unfinished input (see video) - that's wrong because we can't show a placeholder where there's input already!
• after step 3: out of nowhere, unfinished input returns when you click the placeholder again

Expected result

• after step 2: unfinished task title should just remain visible in the input box regardless if focused or not, no need to show the placeholder instead
• after step 3: clicking on unfinished input should allow user to proceed with input where he left
