clicking on color picker navigates browser away from application

[Andrew Potachits]

I'm developing the Angular2 application that is bootstrapped from ASP.NET MVC controller.
I deployed the whole web application to IIS under virtual subfolder.
So, the url to application looks like this (for dev):

http://localhost/My.Subfolder/MyController/Action?param1=123

the page baseurl is set to /My.Subfolder/:

<base href="/My.Subfolder/"/>

Everything works fine until I open the color picker and click the element that opens color picker. It looks like during dialog initialization, something causes angular to navigate away.

How can I help diagnosing the problem?

I guess this may be something to do with the routing: the browser ends up here after navigation:

http://localhost/My.Subfolder/#

however I don't use any routes in my application (and not use routing at all).
