[Issue Forms] "Leave a comment" overlaps textarea placeholder

[TWiStErRob]

Select Topic Area

Bug

Feature Area

Issues

Body

The "Leave a comment" placeholder should only show up on issue/discussion threads, not in forms.

It happens even in this discussion board:

Repro

1. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/new?category=projects-and-issues
2. Click in Body > Write > textarea

Expected: Able to read "STOP!"
Actual: "Leave a comment" overlays the textarea.

Guidelines

• I have read the above statement and can confirm my post is relevant to the GitHub feature areas Issues and/or Projects.

Just wanted to share that we have a workaround for this, it's not ideal so having this fixed would be wonderful, but by using an \n we can move the placeholder text to a new line under this forced "Leave a comment" text

Here's an example of this being used:

Lol, what a hackaround! Kudos.

Tip for yaml

This should yield the same results, but with less escaping and shorter lines (see https://yaml-multiline.info/ for more):

    attributes:
      label: '👟 Reproduction steps'
      description: >
        How do you trigger this bug?
        Please walk us through it step by step.
        Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to reproduce this bug.
        Include code or configuration to reproduce, if relevant.
      placeholder: |
        
        1. Go to '...'
        2. Click on '....'
        3. Scroll down to '....'

(The line above 1. is indented to the same level.)

TIL - Thanks for this YAML tip!

This looks to be fixed now.
