Textarea placeholder isn't shown in IE 11 being rendered using React

Bug

What is the current behavior?

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem via https://jsfiddle.net or similar (template: https://jsfiddle.net/reactjs/69z2wepo/).
Textarea does not display placeholder text initially. The placeholder text is only shown after focus and focus-away. Ie11 only. Works on all other browsers I believe, go figure.
I believe this issue was solved before but seems to have come back.

PR that originally fixed the issue: #8020

What is the expected behavior?
Placeholder text should initial show on render.

Which versions of React, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of React?
React 15.4.1, ie11. Looks like it [was working in 15.2].(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36893449/textarea-placeholder-isnt-shown-in-ie-11-being-rendered-using-react)

Thanks for the report @Lkroner, can you share a small test case reproducing the issue? You can use https://jsfiddle.net/reactjs/69z2wepo/ as a starting point.

Thanks! What OS are you testing on? I'm actually not able to reproduce this issue with IE11 on Windows 8.1, but I can reproduce it with IE11 on Windows 10

[Lkroner]

Yep using Browserstack, windows 10 ie11

Thanks, looks like this is a separate issue with IE11 on Windows 10. I'll take a look at this when I get a chance!

[Lkroner]

Thank you! I realize it's a minor nuisance so thanks for taking a peak at it.

@aweary So should this have been fixed by #8020 or not? Or are these separate issues?

[aweary]

@gaearon it seems like two separate issues, #8020 fixes the issue in IE11 on Windows 8.1 (what I tested with) but apparently it doesn't fix it for IE11 in Windows 10. I'm not entirely sure why.

@gaearon I'll test it all again here in a few minutes and report back

@gaearon tested with https://jsfiddle.net/69z2wepo/64790/ in IE11 on Windows 8 and Windows 10 and the placeholder is rendered correctly. I'm not sure what was happening before, probably user error on my part. Either way, this resolved 👍
