mdAutocomplete locks page if selected-item-change removes the autocomplete

[lyschoening]

If selected-item-change is fired and the same digest cycle removes the autocomplete using ng-if, the page will remain masked by the temporary element used to prevent scrolling while the autocomplete is open.

This closed issue seems somewhat related #3546

I ran in to a similar issue (#5213) when I was using an md-autocomplete to change to different ngRoute views.

@lyschoening @mzbyszynski For now, a workaround is to wrap the removal code in a timeout:

$timeout(function () {
  //-- code that causes removal of autocomplete
});

[lyschoening]

@robertmesserle $mdUtil.enableScrolling()
