#### Bug, feature request, or proposal: #### What is the expected behavior? Placeholder should be at the top left corner when value is entered #### What is the current behavior? when value is bound to input, the placeholder overlaps with the value. The placeholder and value are at the same place #### What are the steps to reproduce? Just bind a value to the <md-input-container> <input md-input value="{{boundValue}}" </md-input-container> Providing a Plunker (or similar) is the *best* way to get the team to see your issue. Plunker template: http://plnkr.co/edit/o077B6uEiiIgkC0S06dd #### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior? #### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected? #### Is there anything else we should know?
