What?

Ensures InputControl sets a default placeholder color for consistency across browsers, matching TextareaControl.
Closes #69331

Why?

Previously, InputControl relied on browser defaults, causing slight color variations. This update improves consistency and accessibility.

How?

  • Added COLORS.ui.darkGrayPlaceholder for placeholders in InputControl.
  • Applied styles for -webkit, -moz, and -ms placeholders.

I'm not sure why this line-height was originally added. To me , it doesn't do anything and should be removed. The placement of the placeholder text is handled by the browser as it's an element in the shadow-DOM.
