[mramanauskas]

Actual Behavior:

• What is the issue? * when md-select is used with multiple="true", it initialy triggers ng-change as much times as there is options preselected.
• What is the expected behavior? ng-change should be triggered only when model value changes.

This is a really troublesome issue. It also gets triggered whenever new options are added to an existing md-select, and those options are pre-selected (this includes replacing the whole list of options). According to the docs for ngChange, it should not be evaluated "if the model is changed programmatically".

any news on this? Happening to me also. Not on angular material but a basic input + ngmodel + ngchange

Verified that this is still an issue in 1.1.9 via updated CodePen.
