Primefaces: p:autocomplete: multiple="true" does not hide placeholder on element added

[RaduFurnea]

1) Environment

• PrimeFaces version: 6.2
• JSF: 2.2.17
• Affected browsers: all

2) Expected behavior

p:autocomplete with multiple enabled, expecting placeholder to disappear when element is added.

3) Actual behavior

Placeholder remains visible regardless of number of elements added.

4) Steps to reproduce

Self explanatory from the description.

5) Sample XHTML

<p:autoComplete id="autocomplete" multiple="true" placeholder="Employees" value="#{sendEmailController.model.employees}" completeMethod="#{sendEmailController.onCompleteEmployee}" var="employee" itemLabel="#{employee.email}" itemValue="#{employee}"> </p:autoComplete>

6) Sample bean

Employees is a list of entities.
