matTextareaAutosize gets focus on initialization

[palpatine1991]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Textarea with matTextareaAutozize directive gets the focus on initialization.

What is the expected behavior?

It should not get focus if it is not explicitly focused.

What is the current behavior?

It is now focused during initialization. This for example breaks the ng-touched/ng-untouched classes and therefore validation behavior.

What are the steps to reproduce?

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-r4nqhk?file=app/input-overview-example.html

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Angular 6.0.2
Angular Material 6.1.0

Is there anything else we should know?

Only reproducible on Safari (both desktop/mobile), Edge, IE11

I also have this bug. Tested on Edge

Probably a duplicate of #11308
However the affected user base seems to be bigger as initially described, if this is not only iOS.

Hi @mmalerba / @crisbeto ,

I recently updated my angular material and still facing this issue. I'm using "@angular/material": "^6.4.2" and was wondering if the fix for this issue is part of this version. If yes, kindly let me know if updating to the material will resolve the issue or do I have to update more dependencies.

Thank you
