"New contact" text in name field shall be selected when clicking on it

[johkoenig]

Describe the bug

When creating a new contact, the name New contact is prefilled. However, when clicking onto that, the text New contact doesn't vanish, it must be removed manually by the user. For Organisation and Title, this is not the case. When I click on one of these and start typing, they vanish. Only the typed text remains.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click + New contact
2. Try to add the name by clicking into the name field, which is prefilled with New contact
3. Type John Doe

Expected behavior
New contact vanishes, name field is filled with John Doe
Basically, name should behave the same way as title and organisation

Actual behavior
The name field is filled with New conJohn Doetact

Server configuration

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #189 (Group broken when creating new contact), #581 (Contact photos dont show up until you click on the contact), #529 (Contact search button and search text field display below scrolled list entries when list scrolled.), #33 (Contact image improvements), and #156 (Adding a contact when group is selected creates new groups).

Hello, thanks a lot for your report!
This is done on purpose because of the way we create the 'new contact' contact on the background.
If clicking the input select the whole text, would this seems to be a proper fix for you?

Yes, this would be acceptable.
My expected behavior is "click" -> "write" and not "click" -> "select" -> "delete" -> "write", which would be fulfilled if the text is selected on click.
