[webkit-dev] Are Qt and GTK+ intentionally returning false in shouldShowPlaceholderWhenFocused?

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Thanks for the confirmation, Martin!

I've started to wonder if we can tie this to the editing behavior instead.
 Isn't this more about the platform UI than each framework?

If so, it'll be nice to check the behavior on Windows and simply make the
placeholder text behavior change based on the underlying operating system.
