@Gillibald I have a question about IME here.

In the Avalonia's TextBox implementation you’re checking the TextPresenter’s preedit text to determine if we should display the watermark. Should we do the same for AvaloniaEdit? I see that the InputMethodClient in the TextArea doesn’t support preedit, so probably is not needed …
