NVDA Input Fields: Is This New Behavior

Hi,
I was doing some testing and code inspection just now, and I noticed that NVDA reads placeholder text after I have typed characters into text input fields on a website. I think that NVDA used to honor the field mask disappearing from the screen and not read it, but I'm unsure. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.

Jim
