Hi Simon! While I was creating a reproduction repo, I noticed that this part of the issue: > The application doesn't load properly unless this is done only happens in...

Ok, so the browser closing can be seen with any application, for example add a breakpoint on the second line of this test: ``` test('close issue', async ({ page })...

> Could you elaborate why you're clicking the Stop button? I click the Stop button so I can use "Record at cursor" and this works fine in 1.53 And sometimes...

I already have the "Show Browser" option enabled: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c7098826-a9ff-4368-a1ea-abfb96491ac8 I also tried with "Show Browser" disabled and saw the same behavior.

Yes, I started it like this: `npm init playwright@latest new-project` Here is the behavior using 1.53.2, the last version where the browser does not close: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d799f108-fbf1-4088-a091-ac5a391a3b9c
