Description
When I start my app, the placeholder text of some CTKEntry widgets are not visible.
If I then select one of those entry widgets (so it's focused) and then select something else (to remove the focus), the placeholder text comes back.
Here's a screen recording of the issue:
I'm using the latest version (5.0.1), Python 3.11 on macOS Ventura.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a minimal CTKEntry app on Python 3.11 and macOS, then inspect the CTKEntry implementation and its placeholder handling. Done means placeholder text is visible when the app starts and remains visible after focus moves away from an entry.
