What is the expected behavior?

I'd think the placeholder text should appear when the search is expanded so that they know what the field is for. I ended up adding a block of text to the side for the time being until I play with it more.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

^

Which version of Angular and Material, and which browser and OS does this issue affect?

I'm on the latest build (with 2.4.1) and using chrome

Did this work in previous versions of Angular / Material?
Please also test with the latest stable and snapshot versions.
Haven't checked the others

Thanks for reporting this @bazhip. we'll look into it.

To continue what was discussed in Teradata/vantage-ui-template#25.

This works as intended, but it would be nice to make the placeholder hiding function optional when focused.

Gonna mark this as an enhancement for a future release.

That's fair. The only reason I threw it as a bug was the fact that the animations were conflicting with each other, but the end result was what was desired at planning.

Thanks guys!

Since we autofocus the label/placeholder shouldn't be there. The only way something like search should technically be there is if it was the default value, but that would be weird bc you'd have to backspace to remove the text...

So this is working as intended as @emoralesb05 said.

what did you mean by animations where conflicting @bazhip ?

Once material releases beta.2, it will give us the flexibility to do this.
