Floating label on select is not working

[kleber-swf]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but this piece of code is not showing the floating label:

<mdl-select label="Unity" floating-label name="unity" [(ngModel)]="item.unity">
    <mdl-option *ngFor="let u of item.unities" [value]="u.id">{{u.name}}</mdl-option>
</mdl-select>

To make the floating label appear I have to put the placeholder and the class manually, like this:

<mdl-select label="Unity" placeholder="Unity" floating-label name="unity" class="mdl-textfield--floating-label" [(ngModel)]="item.unity">
    <mdl-option *ngFor="let u of item.unities" [value]="u.id">{{u.name}}</mdl-option>
</mdl-select>

Is that right? Am I missing something?

Thanks for the awesome component, btw 😃

I met the same issue.

Yep. Two months and I'm having the same problem too, hahha. I'm using the workaround since then.

Hmm it seems to work for me. Do you guys see same issue here:
http://mseemann.io/angular2-mdl-ext/select
in example select provided by ngModel with floating label section?

Also not working for me. What's strange is that it worked fine then after modifying the template it stopped and I'm not sure at what point.
