currently focused element lost in ng-click handler

[alanhamlett]

For example, I want to get the currently focused element.

Template:

<input type="text" />
<a href="#" ng-click="gotClicked()">click me to see which element is focused</a>

Controller:

...
$scope.gotClicked = function() {
    console.log(document.activeElement);
};
...

Try focusing on the text input and then click the link. The text input should be logged to the console, but it's not.

this is not an angular specific issue, please see that the behavior is the same with plane html: http://plnkr.co/edit/YbEs2FQYICmH7SGguqD8?p=preview

I'm closing this in favor of #2012
