I cannot reproduce this error in IE11. However, there are some other issues with IE11 (with the scrollbars). Please provide more information (e.g. OS version) and use the issue template or I cannot address this bug.

Regarding your fix: the docs from Microsoft state that this is automatically enabled in IE11 by setting the HTML5 doctype: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bg182625(v=vs.85).aspx
