This is default behavior for the placeholder element in your browser, not an issue with this site's UI.

Well, yes and no. It's the default behaviour, but it seems strange as the text is centred. I think if you left-align the text box input, it would seem more intuitive.
Maybe I'm more used to sites implementing it with Javascript. It does seem to be the default behavior; I'm trying to figure out why intuitively I expected it to be different.
