Selenium webdriver submits click twice in IE11

I am writing selenium tests in a .net environment for IE11. I use IEDriverServer 2.53.1.0 and NuGet packages Selenium.Support (v2.53.1) and Selenium.WebDriver (v2.53.1). Also I am using Protractor Version 0.0.6. When I try to click a link which contains more than one parameter, e.g. http://localhost/test?a=1&b=2 then this link is clicked twice by the web driver. If I run the test with the chrome driver everything works fine (the link is only clicked once)

Has anybody experienced this problem? Is there a fix / work-around? Thanks for your response.
