InternetExplorerDriver NoSuchWindowException when saving passwords turned off in IE11

Hi,

I can't get past a login form in my test (non-HTTPS) environments due to false-positive
NoSuchWindowException exception a second after POSTing in IE11.

The workaround seems to be to either reenable password prompts or to add the form page
to 'Trusted sites', i.e. to either pollute the screenshots or the security settings.

1. Uncheck Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete Settings > Usernames and passwords
on forms > Ask me before saving passwords (or run test twice and click 'Not for this
site')

2. Use a non-https non-hostname (or use FQDN or IP) login form with a password input
and post method, e.g. http://fiddle.jshell.net/Lsdwebbu/show/light/


Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17***
Selenium.WebDriver.2.42.0
IEDriverServer_Win32_2.42.0

http://fiddle.jshell.net/Lsdwebbu/show/light/

<form method="post" action="http://kozhevnikov.com/login">
    <input type="text" id="username" name="username" />
    <input type="password" id="password" name="password" />
    <input type="submit" id="login" />
</form>


[Test]
public void Foo()
{
    var driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

    driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://fiddle.jshell.net/Lsdwebbu/show/light/");

    driver.FindElement(By.Id("username")).SendKeys("foo");
    driver.FindElement(By.Id("password")).SendKeys("bar");
    driver.FindElement(By.Id("login")).Click();

    Thread.Sleep(3000);

    Assert.That(driver.CurrentWindowHandle, Is.Not.Empty);
    Assert.That(driver.WindowHandles, Has.Count.Positive);
}
