Question

Answer 1

First, you should add an id or a class in your md-autocomplele. Then, try this:

#id md-progress-linear .md-container
{
    display: none;
}

or

.class md-progress-linear .md-container
{
    display: none;
}

Hope this help.

I deal with this error one entire day, but the solution is simple: update your angular-material library.

More information? Version 1.1 work fine. If you look the solution is here: https://github.com/angular/material/commit/e821ae327f4ed193d14450aa0c83cd457092f563 (line 446 of autocompleteController.js)
