Slate: Editor component's placeholder prop is broken

Do you want to request a _feature_ or report a _bug_?

🐛

What's the current behavior?

When the Editor component from slate-react has the placeholder prop specified, the expected behavior is that the placeholder text will be rendered when there is no text entered. The current behavior is that the placeholder text is not being rendered in the latest slate-react.

This bug is verifiable in Slate's own examples, e.g. https://www.slatejs.org/#/rich-text where the source code specifies a placeholder prop, the empty state for the editor does not render the placeholder.

What's the expected behavior?

The expected behavior is that the placeholder text is visible in the empty state. I am completely new to slate though so it's possible I'm misunderstanding what this is supposed to do.

👋 @ianstormtaylor think we could get some eyes on https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/pull/2765 when you get a chance? IMO the placeholder is fairly critical to maintain feature parity with native text inputs

Thanks @franjohn21, I totally missed that one!
