I have an issue, the browser close immediately after a popup/alert message  
show up. It happens while I use the web recorder with the latest version  
(32 5.6.3), but when I use the lower version (64 5.3.1) it doesn’t happen.

For example, I tested on this website using the latest version [Tryit Editor v3.7](https://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_alert). The browser close itself after I click the button to show the alert/popup

Is there any way solve this issue?

I have this same problem with a JSP popup, I click button ‘Proceed’ which meant to close the popup only but closes everything, I mean all the browser. How did you manage to solve it? I would appreciate this answer.  
Im using katalon v. 7.5.2 and chromedriver: ChromeDriver 84.0.4147.30  
Thanks.
