<p dir="auto"><strong>Current behavior</strong><br>
Using reactive forms. When swedish letters (åäö) is used in a input placeholder, the form and input is initialized as dirty. </p>
<p dir="auto">This only affects IE11, or perhaps also earlier versions of IE.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Expected behavior</strong><br>
The form and input should not be dirty because of swedish letters in placeholder.</p>
