[TextField] The placeholderText does not apper when inputMask is setted

[Renato Araujo Oliveira Filho]

The inputMask makes the placehorlderText invisible even when the text property is empty.

Example:
TextInputDetail {
        height: units.gu(4)

        // this will never appears
        placeholderText: i18n.tr("Date of birth")
        inputMask: "09/09/9999"
}

WORKAROUND:
TextInputDetail {
        height: units.gu(4)

        // this will never appears
        placeholderText: i18n.tr("Date of birth")
        inputMask: activeFocus ? "09/09/9999" : ""
}

The WORKAROUND does not work because setting and removing the inputMask cause the field to lost the text value and the field become empty.

Is TextInputDetail derived from TextField? If yes, what else has been added to it?

[Zsombor Egri (zsombi)]

Christian, not sure whether is this still valid.

I checked it and it seems that TextField with placeholderText is working correctly when inputMask is set.
