autocomplete: ng-required does not work with AngularJS 1.7.6

[dohomi]

Detailed Reproduction Steps:

AngularJS 1.7.6 breaks the ng-required handling - the value always is true as soon ng-required="false" is set

What is the expected behavior?

Should work like it was working with 1.7.5

What is the current behavior?

ng-required on mdAutocomplete does not work

• AngularJS: 1.7.6
• AngularJS Material: 1.1.12
• OS: all
• Browsers: all

I just found an issue which might be connected: angular/angular.js#16814 So I will for now wait for AngularJS 1.7.7

Yeah, I'd recommenced staying on 1.7.5 unless you really benefit from something in the 1.7.6 release.

angular@1.7.7 was released with bug fix

ngRequired: set error correctly when inside ngRepeat and false by default (5ad4f5, #16814, #16820)
