Checkboxes are colored black in IE 10 with ng-repeat

I have encountered a quite strange issue in Internet Explorer 10. Generally a checkboxe’s background color is filled with black and then transitions back to white, to the normal styling in IE 10. But the issue came with the behavior of my application. I had to keep a list of checkboxes and sort them in checked status and in ascending order.

When I click on the first checkbox it works fine; first turn into black and then turns back to normal color. But if I click any link other than the first one, IE 10 doesn’t seems to fire the event that turns the checkbox background color back into the normal color. Somehow I implemented the sorting part with orderBy filter inside the ng-repeat directive and I captured the checkbox select event via $event. Maybe capturing the $event caused the issue.

I have found a similar issue reported in Microsoft Connect, which is marked as won’t fix. Ultimately I decided to create my own directive.

Here is the HTML that does the ng-repeat for checkboxes, and filter's them according to status and name:

<div ng-repeat="item in (items | orderBy:['!status','itemName'])">

       <input type="checkbox" ng-click="itemClickEvent($event, item.itemId)" ng-model="item.status"/>

</div>

Controller method that captures the click event:

$scope.itemClickEvent = function ($event, itemId) {

                var checkbox = $event.target;

                var checkboxState = checkbox.checked;

                if (checkboxState) {

                    $scope.items = itemsFactory.doSomething(itemId);

                } else {

                    $scope.items = itemsFactory.doAnotherthing(itemId);

                }

        };

Custom directive I created:

IE10 version: IE10.0.9200.17229

Angularjs version: AngularJS v1.2.23

I’m still not certain about the cause of the issue and hope someone could shine some light on this J
