Parent box not wrapping in IE only

I have this fiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/kimwild/mtxgtwr5/2/

main#wrapper {
  z-index: 1;
  width: 100%;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: red !important;
  border: 10px dotted #4D37DB;
}

figure#about-img {
  width: 100%;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
  overflow: hidden;
}

article#main {
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
  min-height: 100px;
  background-color: green;
}
<main id="wrapper">
  <figure id="about-img"> <img src="http://www.hauppauge.co/pics/aboutus.jpg" alt="About Us" /> </figure>
  <article id="main">
  </article>
</main>

Just for the sake of this test I added a bright background and border. It is supposed to look like it does in all other browsers such as Chrome: https://jsfiddle.net/kimwild/mtxgtwr5/2/show/

But when viewed in IE something is happening to main#wrapper where you don't see it fully, the red background is not showing up.

Really appreciate any suggestions. Thank You!

This has to do with Internet Explorer not fully supporting the <main> element yet.

A quick fix would be to add 

main {
  display: block;
}

to your CSS.
