AFTv5 IE7 Bug - Option 1

When I click on the text box to enter a comment, the text prompt remains and can be selected, but not edited.

The text prompt should disappear as soon as I click on the text area.

See attached screenshot.

Found on Windows IE7 on my Dell Latitude laptop, using  IE7 7.05730 over XP for Windows XP Professional 2002.

Text prompt should disappear, and the input text should be a darker color than the suggestive text.

I was able to recreate this in IE7/XP.  FF4 and Chrome 15 on XP work as expected.

I am still experiencing this bug on IE7, even after Monday's push to prototype. 

The text prompt is displayed ("What's missing? Any suggestions for improvement?"), but I can't make it go away. 

See related bug Bug 32963 from Bill Skags, who reports that he cannot see that text prompt at all on IE7.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32963

Clearly, something is weird in the way that text prompt is being displayed, compared to the other feedback forms, whose text prompts work on IE7.
Comment 3 Fabrice Florin 2011-12-13 04:32:30 UTC
Also, if I try to click on 'Post your feedback' in Option 1 on IE7 after clicking on 'yes' or 'no', it says 'please enter your feedback' -- even though we allow people to post just 'yes' or 'no', without having to enter any text. It works fine on other platforms, only malfunctions on IE7.
Comment 4 Bill Skaggs 2011-12-13 06:06:16 UTC
I think I ought to correct Comment 2 -- I am using Firefox 8.0, not IE7.
