Attempted Workarounds

Here are things that I have tried, with no success.

enableNativeEvents

I tried removing the command: options.enablePersistentHovering(); And adding the commands: options.requireWindowFocus(); options.enableNativeEvents();

Not destructivelyEnsureCleanSession

I tried removing the command: options.destructivelyEnsureCleanSession();

Not introduceFlakinessByIgnoringSecurityDomains

I tried removing the command: options.introduceFlakinessByIgnoringSecurityDomains(); With “protected mode” enabled.
