'Enter commit message' does not disappear when you start typing your message

I can confirm this.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Make some changes in the repository
2. Go to the Commit dialog and make sure the Close dialog after each commit option is off
3. Stage some, but not all changes
4. Enter a commit message and press Ctrl+Enter
5. After the commit is performed, dismiss the Process window

The commit message window is now focused, the cursor is at the beginning but the "watermark" text is again displayed. If you now start typing, the text will be drawn in gray and it won't be registered as the true message text (ie. when you now try to commit the rest of the changes, a message box will appear saying Please enter commit message).

I am using version 2.51 and I am seeing this. Is this a regression?

I'm experiencing this issue too. Version 2.51.01. Sometimes the watermark text is displayed as regular text. Sometimes when I start to type my commit message it has watermark style and appends to existing watermark text.

OS? .NET version? under what circumstances?

[dhilgarth]

OS: Windows 10 Version 1803 Build 17134.48
GitExtensions: 2.51.01
.NET Framework versions: 4.5.1, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1

Circumstances: Unclear. For some repositories it seems to happen always, other repositories don't experience this. It might be related to the file .git\description. The repository that experienced this was unnamed. Once I edited that file, the problem went away. However, editing the file so that the repository was unnamed again, didn't make the problem re-appear.
