FairyGUI Placeholder for Input:

Result when run on iOS:

Result when run on macOS:

Another problem is how the placeholder is displayed when we start type, it go to top of input broken:

Another problem is how it is displayed after set text, it still not vertical centered (in editor image you can see that is centered vertically):

I tried modify FUIInput:

void FUIInput::applyTextFormat()
{
    setFontName(UIConfig::getRealFontName(_textFormat->face).c_str());
    setPlaceholderFontName(UIConfig::getRealFontName(_textFormat->face).c_str());
    setFontSize(_textFormat->fontSize);
    setPlaceholderFontSize(_textFormat->fontSize);
    setFontColor(_textFormat->color);
    setPlaceholderFontColor(_textFormat->color);
}

But it don't apply the font face.

And need use the same align.

Basically, the placeholder in FairyGUI has the same attributes of normal text.

Only need apply the same settings.

Root Cause:
ui::EditBox does not support TextVerticalAlignment; only support for : TextHorizontalAlignment (=setTextHorizontalAlignment)

I add label: wontfix.
Ok for you or want you support/implement ui::EditBox::setTextVerticalAlignment(...)?

Improvement/Idea: use of a different UI element (e.g. RichText)
