lit-element : Bind to a boolean attribute : Issue with Internet Explorer 11 - internet-explorer-11

Question

I'm using Bind to boolean attribute as mentioned in the documentation https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/guide/templates as given below.
This works fine in Chrome but for some reason not working in Internet Explorer 11. It always behaves as falsy. and doesn't add the attribute.
Is there a known issue or I'm missing something.
To simulate the scenario :
Create two custom-elements, parent and child element. Pass boolean attribute through child element boolean property and use that property to make enable disable a textbox.
Parent element

Answer 1

In lit-element if you add a boolean value in constructor and if it is true, you cannot set false for that.
case
I have tried it like <input type="text" .disabled="${false}"> and it works.
