Description

I've noticed sometimes when I type something in the search box on Portuguese Wikisource[1] it displays the text in gray instead of black (as happens in other projects. But I didn't find any CSS rule on [[wikisource:pt:MediaWiki:Common.css]] which could be causing this change.

The only thing I found was on the following rule from /skins/vector/screen.css[2][3]:

div#simpleSearch input.placeholder {
color: #999999;

}

If I go to firebug and disable this specific rule, the black color is restored.

I just tested it on firefox 5 and got a black placeholder.

The problem also happens when I use Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; pt-BR; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20110701 Iceweasel/3.5.16 (like Firefox/3.5.16)

I noticed that although the first line below[1] is executed, the second one is not being executed when I start typing on the search box:

42 | .bind( 'focus drop keydown paste', function( e ) {

|      if ($input.hasClass('placeholder')) {

I can confirm that after removing[1] this script from Portuguese Wikisource,
both this bug and bug 29801 disappeared.
