Vlad The issue still appears for me in RC 109.1.3.
Easiest steps to reproduce:
- Open a new windows.
- Open a new Start Page tab.
- Right click the tab in the tab bar and select "Move tab to new window".
This will open a new window with the Start Page tab and the url bar will contain the duplicate placeholder.
The issue appears to be caused by the new window rendering the placeholder text, and focusing on the url bar (which then left aligns the placeholder text) at the same time. Resulting in the original center align placeholder as if the url bar was not focused and the left align placeholder like the url bar is focused both appearing. Also, as soon as the url bar is unfocused, (e.g. clicking on the Start Page content area) the left aligned placeholder text disappears.
This issue seems to be related to problems mentioned in these issues:
