Overflowing content in the Body textarea of the Discussion creation page

Select Topic Area

Bug

Body

Description:

When creating a new discussion under the "Projects and Issues" category, the placeholder text in the "Body" textarea overflows when interacting with the textarea. This happens, simply by clicking the textarea or deleting the text of the Body. The overflowing text disrupts the user experience by overlapping the textarea content.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Navigate to the GitHub Discussions page.
• Create a New Discussion
• Start a new discussion under the "Projects and Issues" category.
• Click on the "Body" textarea or place the cursor in it and see the issue occuring.
• Type any text in the "Body" textarea and delete the text you just typed. You may see the error there also.

Expected Behavior:

The placeholder text should appear correctly without any overflow when the "Body" textarea is empty.

Actual Behavior:

The placeholder text overflows and becomes misaligned, affecting readability.

Environment:

Browser: Chrome
GitHub UI mode: Dark

Screenshot:

Additional Notes:

This issue may also affect other categories within the discussions page if the same textarea component is used.
