Proposal
It would be a nice feature to have floating labels also for file inputs. At the moment, the label is placed over the button of the input field and overlaps parts of the button.
Motivation and context
With having floating labels also for file inputs, (nearly) all input fields of a web form could be labeled with this, which enables a consistent layout.

Research direction
Start by locating Bootstrap’s existing floating-label styles and the file-input markup and styling. Reproduce the reported overlap, then compare the result with other floating-label controls. Done means file inputs support a consistent floating-label layout without the label covering the button.
