To back up a bit, the issue is that we currently have no TextField with has the following characteristics: 1. Has built-in functionality for clear and password reveal buttons, so each client doesn't need to re-invent the wheel (PC2 one has this, PC3, QQC1, and QQC2 ones do not) 2. Placeholder text looks good with fractional scale factors (PC3 and QQC2 ones have this, PC2 and QQC1 ones do not) My approach with this patch was to try to port the missing features to the PC3 TextField to solve #1, but maybe that's not the right approach? Do you have any suggestions for how we resolve the issue?
