Version: 1.93.1 (user setup) Commit: 38c31bc77e0dd6ae88a4e9cc93428cc27a56ba40 Date: 2024-09-11T17:20:05.685Z Electron: 30.4.0 ElectronBuildId: 10073054 Chromium: 124.0.6367.243 Node.js: 20.15.1 V8: 12.4.254.20-electron.0 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22631

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Pick any theme
2. set "workbench.colorCustomizations": { "editor.placeholder.foreground": "#ff0000"}
3. expected: placeholder text of git commit message should turn red (or to any color you set) - but actually it stays the default which is "editorGhostText.foreground". Changing the ghost text color indeed also changes this placeholder text color.

I checked using the developer tool that the placeholder text of git commit message is indeed controlled by editor.placeholder.foreground.

see screenshot below

(theme: default dark modern)

(theme: wine-bar-monokai)
