How to center the cursor in a text input having a placeholder in Edge without JS?

Question

It works in every browser except Edge. Is there a pure CSS workaround?

input {    text-align: center  }

<input placeholder="placeholder" />

Answer 1

Nice find, Tamás! This appears to be a bug with our form controls. Note that the cursor respects the instruction when there is no placeholder, but falls back to left-alignment when there is a placeholder. This seems very unintentional, and worth digging into.
