tooltip: $mdGestureProvider.disableAll() throws error In IE11 when tooltips try to open

[gauravlodha]

Bug, enhancement request, or proposal:

Detailed Reproduction Steps:

1. Disable mdGestureProvider in IE
2. It throws error TypeError: Object doesn't support property or method 'contains'

What is the expected behaviour?

It should not throw an error in IE11

What is the current behaviour?

TypeError: Object doesn't support property or method 'contains'

Which versions of AngularJS, Material, OS, and browsers are affected?

• AngularJS: 1.7.8
• AngularJS Material: 1.1.19
• OS: Windows 10
• Browsers: IE11

Is there anything else we should know? Stack Traces, Screenshots, etc.

Can you please provide a CodePen reproduction? I know that IE can't use normal CodePen, but it can view the debug/fullscreen view of CodePen for testing.

The debug view in CodePen can apparently expire. I tracked down the actual CodePen here and created a fork and new debug view.

There is an extra reproduction step that isn't mentioned in the OP:

• you need to hover over the button before the errors are generated

This is due to the error being triggered by the tooltip.

Here's the full set of errors that I see

Possibly unhandled rejection: mdPanel: Panel does not exist yet. Call open() or attach().
