prior to mdc migration
### Description
when using `select[matNativeControl]` inside `` there's a couple of problems:
1. when using an empty string as the default option, the label appears within the form field. directly clicking the label does not trigger the options.
2. clicking just inside `mat-form-field` (inside the outline) also does not trigger the options

Steps to reproduce:
