I noticed that a click on the link of an active route does no longer r

If you really need to trick the Router into reloading the component on each routerLink click, you can use the following code in your Component

constructor(private router: Router){
 // override the route reuse strategy
 this.router.routeReuseStrategy.shouldReuseRoute = function(){
    return false;
 }

 this.router.events.subscribe((evt) => {
    if (evt instanceof NavigationEnd) {
       // trick the Router into believing it's last link wasn't previously loaded
       this.router.navigated = false;
       // if you need to scroll back to top, here is the right place
       window.scrollTo(0, 0);
    }
});

}

Hope this helps
