We need to investigate / fix (if there is anything to fix).

Thanks for opening this!

I think the root of the problem is that the NgbModal service is intended to be an app-wide singleton?

Providers imported in lazy loaded modules are always new instances. The NgModules documentation covers this topic nicely.

I'm just not sure what the correct way of configuring a lazy loaded module would be.. If I need to import NgbModule in the lazy loaded module to have access to the component directives then it will also be importing a separate instance of the NgbModal service.

Thanks again.

The Material2 team ran into a similar issue with one of their services. A good discussion and solution is available here:
