iOS 7 - Align the placeholder with the cursor / actual text

[gerry3]

Just like iOS 6, we should align the placeholder text several pixels to the left so that the cursor and the actual text that replaces it are aligned.

Can you provide a screenshot or screen recording of this behaviour? It's not clear what behaviour you're seeing.

(In iOS 6.1, the placeholder text should be positioned to align with the text it replaces, to mimic UITextField's behaviour.)

@cbowns ok, I see now that the placeholder does align in iOS 6. However, it does not align in iOS 7, so that's the issue I am reporting here.

We are working on a pull request with a sample / example project and we can work on a pull request with a fix for this iOS 7 issue after that too.

Super. I'd be glad to help review things but don't quite have the spare cycles to page in all the memories from a few months ago and start digging into things again.
