Review request for Plasma.


Changes
-------

Reduce space between caret and placeholder.


Description (updated)
-------

This patch keeps the place holder text visible when a TextField is focused. This is useful for situations where a text field is focused at startup. We use it in Homerun for the search field.

I filed a similar review-request for kdelibs KLineEdit and KTextEdit: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/107678/

Testing

Ran widgetgallery with the patch code, as can be seen in attached screenshot.
