Hi, I’m also running into this issue. Any updates on this by chance?

I don’t know if it helps others in the meantime, but I found by forcing the minWidth of the input to be large than to contentSize of the placeholder. For me, that ended up ‘95%’ of the container width (to account for padding). It was not the most ideal solution, but it was the simplest trying to resolve it until this was actually addressed.
