    Description

      #include <QApplication>
#include <QLineEdit>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QLineEdit lineEdit;
    lineEdit.setPlaceholderText("Test");
    lineEdit.show();
    return a.exec();
}

      See the attached files. The placeholder text is aligned to the right, while the user text is aligned correctly.

      Even when there is no placeholder text, the cursor appears on the right edge.

      setLayoutDirection(Qt::LeftToRight) doesn't help.
