Description Previously, clearing text would have the placeholder text appear again instantly. However, in 0.94.0 (and possibly 0.93.0) that placeholder takes some time to re-appear.

The placeholder works as expected in 0.92.0.

Recording A GIF or video showing the issue happening. (If you don't include this, there's a very good chance your issue will be closed, because it's much too hard to figure out exactly what is going wrong, and it makes maintenance much harder.)

Sandbox https://codesandbox.io/s/slate-reproductions-forked-bufv30?file=/index.js

Steps

Create slate editor with placeholder
type text in
remove text

This can also be replicated on the official examples: https://www.slatejs.org/examples/richtext

Expectation I would have expected that the placeholder text to re-appear immediately after the text is cleared.

I'm seeing this as well. Tracked it down to slate-react 0.93.0. Most likely from https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/commit/5a0d3974d6cb2c099dff4c0976e9390d24c345ad

Also causes some additional issues with my specific Slate editor inside a webview on native where the delayed placeholder after deletion causes the cursor to disappear then subsequent deletes break the editor. This was not the case before slate-react 0.93.0 when the placeholder rendered immediately.

Yeah, it's explicitly waiting 300 ms to show, which seems like an exceptionally long time for the purpose of allowing selections to settle. I wonder what the case is where that would take more than a couple milliseconds?
