Katalon 5.3 + jenkins, problem with chromedriver

When I updated Katalon Studio to 5.3 tests in chrome browser begins fail.
In 5.2 all tests works fine. There are no direct point where tests fails but it seems to be something wrong in commands Verify Element Present/Verify Element Visible + chromedrive 2.35.
Error message was every time:

Unable to verify object 'Object Repository/zzzzz' is present (Root cause: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: unhandled inspector error: {"code":-32000,"message":"Cannot find context with specified id"}

When I change chromedriver back to 2.33 all tests begins to work fine.

Situation where tests fails happends when I have hidden div and putton press make it visible and test verify if div is present or visible.
Sometimes it helps when I change command to Wait For Element Visible.

This situation is very difficult to repeat and tests I run is very long (15mins). I haven’t test this with older version katalon studio + 2.35 chromedriver so if anyone else has simular problems with jenkins + chrome switch to older version of chromedriver.

It is a chromedriver bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=1224.

It sometimes happens to me, but always in an iframe.
