Q:

Angular Material md-item-list css bug

i am trying to make the tutorial "https://github.com/angular/material-start/tree/master" but i have a problem with the md-list and md-list-item directive. i posted my code in the bottom. The problem i have is, that the space between the md-list-items are to as big as the site is height. has anyone a idea why that happens or what i am doing wrong here?
Thanks 
Pat

A:

I updated the files that are loaded to match those of the Angular Material demos and the problem no longer exists.
If anyone is wondering how to replicate the problem, copy-paste the markup in the question into a file (test.html) and open the file in Chrome. The markup below will display correctly.
