Input values are no longer centered

[smucode]

Input values are in v1.1.5 top aligned, they used to be centered as per v1.1.0.

Workaround: add Element.htmlAttribute (Html.Attributes.style "flex" "1") to the input.

Hello!

So, I'm not entirely clear on what's wrong here. What I'm picking up is that text inputs used to be vertically centered, and now they're not.

Though the current behavior seems to be more consistent with things like el.

Here's the same ellie, but with an el instead of a text input. https://ellie-app.com/6TkYpFsKrfVa1

Let me know if I'm missing something 😄

@mdgriffith ok, but how to center input values? :) seems like it's not possible without custom css?

[mdgriffith]

Can't you just add centerY, centerX? https://ellie-app.com/6TnPssyThfwa1

The problem is not with centering the input element, but centering the input text/value inside.

[mdgriffith]

Ah, interesting. Isn't that something that you could handle with padding?

[edkv]

Yes, it should be possible by doing some calculations based on the font size and input height. But I think the value should be centered by default because I'd say that for single-line inputs this is always what you want. That's also how html <input> works.

Element.htmlAttribute (Html.Attributes.style "text-align" "center")

@tonyea This would center the text horizontally (which should also be possible with Element.Font.center), but the issue is about centering vertically.

I have the same issue. Placeholder text and value are not in the same spot https://ellie-app.com/fGmqTHCtSGSa1 I think we can cheat by playing with the padding.

Is there a workaround for getting placeholder text to be vertically centered, too? :pray:
