Comment (by afercia):

 For some background: [44896] / #42390.

 In that ticket, the initial idea was to
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/42390#comment:3 use a native
 placeholder attribute]. Considering backwards compatibility and the
 presence of the `enter_title_here` filter, the final decision was:
 - Quick Press widget in the Dashboard: use visible `<label>` elements and
 a native `placeholder` attribute
 - Post title: keep the JavaScript "prompt text" thing and make the text
 behave like a placeholder: the text now disappears only when typing
 something, while previously disappeared on focus. Hence, the right-click
 problem.

 Definitely in favor of using a native `placeholder` attribute, if that's
 possible. The patch should ensure the `enter_title_here` filter still
 works.
