iOS DropboxSDK LinkFromController login credential field's placeholder text overlaps user entered text
Using SDK version 1.3.13 and presenting the user login screen as follows:
DBSession* session = [[DBSession alloc] initWithAppKey:kDropboxAppKeyStr
appSecret:kDropboxSecretStr
root:kDBRootDropbox];
[DBSession setSharedSession:session];
session.delegate = self;
[[DBSession sharedSession] linkFromController:viewController];
When the DB login screen is shown and the user enters their credentials, the placeholder text is not removed causing it to overlap what the user entered like this:
Surprisingly I cannot find anyone else talking about this, am I doing something wrong? This happens with both iOS 8 and 9.

Thanks for the report! We're looking into it.
Exactly the same happens to me.
As additional data, I can tell that happens in simulators (iOS 9.2) and iPhone 6 (iOS 9.2).
But I would swear this issue wasn't happening a few days ago...
This is happening on iOS8 and 9 simulators and iOS7 device. Looks like the issue is with the authentication web view regardless of the iOS version or device type. @Gregory Is there an update on this issue?
I can confirm on both simulator and on ipad running 9.2 as well. I swear (like Pablo A said) this just started happening and I have not run any updates lately at all. The control that requests username and password that is loaded into the UIWebView used to serve the connection request must have changed recently. The code that runs the user's input into the connection api is not in the iOS SDK from what I can tell but loaded dynamically from a url - possibly a jscript bug...

No update right now.

This should be fixed now. Please let me know if you're still seeing it.
Yup, working as intended now, thanks!
It's working fine now, thanks!!
Yep looks right again - so was I right? Someone messed around with the javascript for the login control?
