[SailfishDevel] Silica TextField - strange clipping?

[Zoltán Lutor]

Hi,

I've experienced strange behaviour of TextFiled QML component:
placeholderText is displayed correctly but text is clipped (see below). QML
snippet is attached at the end.

it seems there is a 'clipping area' applied if text field is set - but that
is not in use for placeholderText...

Any idea what do I do wrong?

Thx,

Zoltan
