Input does not hide the hintText when a value is entered

[lukef]

The Input and InputField widgets retain their hintText widget even after a text value has been entered.

See example below:

@HansMuller so you have any context here?

This functionality works fine on TextField but not on Input or InputField. I also made sure it is inside a Material.

I don't know when this regressed. We really need a test for this behavior for all of the input widgets.

Going to bump this to M1 given the regression status and the fact that it's blocking Hoppy. @HansMuller are you the right person to stab at this? Or maybe @jason-simmons or @Hixie?

[jason-simmons]

Took a look at this and was able to show an Input/InputField clearing the hint text once its value becomes nonempty.

Note that unlike TextField, Input/InputField requires an onChanged handler that does a setState() which updates the field's value.

@abarth I see you self-assigned, but I'm not sure what the next work here is. Do we have an update for Posse? I'm meeting with them this afternoon. :)

@eseidelGoogle Sorry, I should have responded earlier. I saw the bug and was planning to fix it when I rationalized the input widgets.

This should be fixed as of ae89948
