Godot version

v4.0.beta.custom_build [99bc490]

System information

Linux Ubuntu 20.04 with Unity desktop

Issue description

On project launch (new project creation or open project), I have an error:

ERROR: Condition "font.is_null()" is true.
   at: _shape (scene/gui/line_edit.cpp:2202)

The error occurs in v4.0.beta.custom_build [99bc490], but doesn't occur on v3.4.1.stable.official [aa1b958] (I didn't test v3.5.1 stable).

Steps to reproduce

Open Godot and either create a new project or open an existing one.

Minimal reproduction project

No response

Seems like EventListenerLineEdit subclass is setting placeholder in the constructor, before font is set or theme is initialized.

Pinning the issue as users will encounter it in 4.0 beta 3 (it's fixed in master and thus will be fixed in 4.0 beta 4).

I did not realise it was my changes that caused this! Apologies.
