mdAutocomplete: ng-disabled retains the cancel search button

[zlovin]

The cancel button on md-autocomplete is still present when the autocomplete is disabled. When clicked, the search clears and no text can be entered.

Should the cancel button be hidden when the autocomplete is ng-disabed?

The demo on https://material.angularjs.org/#/demo/material.components.autocomplete demonstrates the issue.

Hi there,
seems like the issue is still present in 1.1.8.
Again the demo can be used to reproduce.

@rhautefeuille this was changed in 1.1.5 via #10603. The description of that PR has some info that may be helpful to you:

If the developer doesn't want a clear button when the control is disabled, they can simply update their boolean expression inside of the md-clear-button attribute.

I opened PR #11248 to clarify the documentation in regards to this change in 1.1.5.
