           Summary: REGRESSION(r67358):Search field's default text is not
                    removed when focus is placed in it
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.apple.com
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P1
         Component: Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: cpetersen at apple.com


With a input element that uses a type=search, placing focus in the field doesn't remove it's default text. This is easily reproducible at http://www.apple.com but I have a simple text case the reproduces it. This problem first started with NB r67358. This issue doesn't happen in stock Safari 5.0.2 under 10.6.4. 


1) Launch Webkit NB r67358 and go to http://www.apple.com/
2) On the page, click in the Search field. Notice the caret appears in the field BUT the Search text remains.

You can verify this same issue in the attached text case.

Open test case in NB r67358 
Click in field to place focus 
Click on page to remove focus from field
Click back in field again. This time search text remains in field.
