[Dropbox Sign]: Glitch when adding a placeholder text
I need urgent help with Dropbox Sign! There is a glitch whenever I try to add Placeholder text. It doesn't stay after being typed. I've tried this in Firefox and Safari (with cleared caches). I've never had this issue before.

Hey there RichardNeedsHelp - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
If this persists on an incognito window with no extensions or plugins running as well, may we reach out via email to have a further look internally?
Thanks!

I just tried again in an incognito window, with no extensions or plugins running, on two separate computers. The same problem persists. I am unable to add Placeholder text to fields. I would really appreciate if you could reach out to me via email to look internally.

Hey Rayyan182 - sorry to hear about this and thanks for letting us know.
If you get the same results after clearing your browser's cache and/or on another browser, may we reach out via email to have a further look internally?

To save you (and anyone else who reads this) some time, here's the response I got from Dropbox: "Our engineers are aware of the problem and are working on a solution. We'll update you shortly on this issue."
There's nothing we're doing wrong on our end. Hopefully, they fix this soon.
