IE11: matInput does not get focused when clicking on mat-form-field

[philipooo]

What is the expected behavior?

The focus ist set to the matInput Field when clicking on some part of the mat-form-field which is not the element.

What is the current behavior?

Currently there is some wierd behaviour. When clicking e.g. slightly abouve the element on the mat-form-field, the placeholde moves and i looks like the field is focues but there is no carret... sometimes the carret appears at the correct or wrong location but I cant type anything.

What are the steps to reproduce?
