Description
QComboBox::setPlaceholderText() was introduced in 5.15, but has the following bug:
When using it, QComboBox::currentText() will change.
This is unexpected and different than the QLineEdit behaviour.
The placeholder text should never leak out, as it's not data, it's just a visual aid.
#include <QDebug>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QComboBox>
#include <QLineEdit>
int main(int a, char **b) {
QApplication app(a, b);
QLineEdit l;
l.setPlaceholderText("foo");
QComboBox c;
c.setPlaceholderText("foo");
qDebug() << c.currentText() << l.text(); // Prints "foo" ""
return 0;
}
