template is="dom-repeat" leaves a non hidden <dom-repeat> element in the dom, screwing up css grid layout

[akc42]

I am trying to build complex table using dom repeat create the table cells. Unfortunately a <dom-repeat> element is left in the dom which creates one more cell in the table.

I can work around the problem by using css

dom-repeat {
  display: none;
}

But it would be better if I didn't have to

Polymer version 2.0.2
