Ion-input placeholder flickers on scroll in iOS

[Bouzmine]

Short description of the problem:

I have form in a modal and when I select an input and scrolling is needed, the placeholder flickers.

What behavior are you expecting?

The placeholder not to flicker.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Put a long form in a modal
2. Tap an input

Other information: (e.g. stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, stackoverflow links, forum links, etc)
This bug used to work in the browser, but since one of the nightlies, it only works in iOS. It also doesn't work if there's no scrolling.

Which Ionic Version? 2.x

Here's a repo for reproduction : https://github.com/Bouzmine/demo-bug-flicker

Same happens here! But not only the placeholder flicks but the value flicks too.
Any update about this issue?

I'm not able to reproduce this using latest. Is anyone still seeing this issue? Thanks. :)

@brandyscarney I can see this in my project (Bouzmine/metho) when this project is ran on UIWebView and WKWebView. You have to create a project, go into it and then open one of the modals using the blue FAB.

Hello all! As it seems it has been a while since there was any activity on this issue I am closing it for now. If this is still an issue after the next major release of Ionic please let us know.

Thanks for using Ionic!
