I followed this github story: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/stories-configure-hmr
I am able to see changes after auto-refresh when I do ng serve (environment is Dev), however with ng serve --hmr -e=hmr, the page auto refreshes (like a flicker) without changes. I have to press F5 to see the changes.
HMR works fine, because I see my terminal output things like:
NOTICE Hot Module Replacement (HMR) is enabled for the dev server.
The project will still live reload when HMR is enabled,
but to take advantage of HMR additional application code is required
(not included in an Angular CLI project by default).
See https://webpack.github.io/docs/hot-module-replacement.html
for information on working with HMR for Webpack.
To disable this warning use "ng set --global warnings.hmrWarning=false"
** NG Live Development Server is listening on localhost:4200, open your browser on http://localhost:4200 **

I also see console outputs for HMR. what else can I do to fully take advantage of HMR?
What I already tried:
I disabled "safe write" form WebStorm.
I deleted and reinstalled
node_modules.
