Deprecated property - underlineRef (starting position of datetimepicker goes haywire)

[carbonrider]

I am using Angular 6.X. I noticed that when I use mat-form-field with an outline as appearance (check below), the datetimepicker popup opens at the very left top corner of the browser.

After going through the datetimepicker code, I realized that it uses underlineRef property to determine position. The property has been deprecated in Angular 6 (https://v6.material.angular.io/components/form-field/api)

I can confirm that using Angular 7.x, Material 7.x and

<mat-form-field appearance="outline">
          <mat-datetimepicker></mat-datetimepicker>
</mat-form-field

breaks the application:
