We probably need some discussion first.

I don't think this is a bug: the prompt text should stay until the user types 
in something.
What I think _IS_ a bug is that when the style is not set, the prompt text 
disappears when the text field gets focus.

As an example, this is how macOS Notes Search box works, the prompt text 
remains in the focused field until the user types something there:
