showInputBox: value option is selecting text by default resulting in deleted content

[jamarw]

• VSCode Version: 1.24.1, Insiders: 1.25.0-insider
• OS Version: Windows 10 1803

Steps to Reproduce:
Sample code
let disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand("extension.sayHello", () => {
vscode.window.showInputBox({
value: "https://",
});
});

1. Run the code above sample

Result
Input box opens and https:// is selected automatically. If a user begins to type it will delete the placeholder value. This is similar to an old resolved issue.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Thanks and please let me know if you need any additional information.

You could use the valueSelection option to set the cursor to the end of the initial value.

@chrmarti , thanks for the suggestion.

Reverting to the old behavior. This wasn't an intentional change.

Actually, the documentation was always that When undefined the whole word will be selected .... I'll revert this change back to what is documented with #52906.
