**Fuse version:** 1.1.0

**Operating System:** Windows 10

**Steps to reproduce:**

- Create new empty project and insert one TextInput-field.
- Add the TextAlignment property with value “Center”.
- Add PlaceholderText property with anything as value.

**Expected results:**

- Text should be centered at all times.

**Results Desktop-client (Windows 10)**

- Placeholder-text is centered
- Cursor is Left-aligned until you start typing. Then it gets Centered.
- Typed text stays centered.

**Results Android (Preview and Buid)**

- Placeholder-text is left-aligned
- When tapping the field and ready to type, the placeholder-text becomes centered.
- While Typing the test is still centered.
- When unfocusing the field, the typed text returns to be left-aligned.

**Clean repo used**
