Chrome 72 loads my UI instead of cypress UI

[fr0]

Current behavior:

On Chrome 72, running tests with cypress open launches the browser, and then goes straight to my URL (http://localhost:4200) instead of opening cypress's page and then loading my page in an iframe.

Even weirder, it appends Cypress's location to my baseUrl (e.g. __/#/tests/integration\config\edit.spec.ts).

Things work as expected if I choose electron instead.

FYI, Chrome 72 was just released yesterday,

Versions

Cypress 3.1.4, Windows 10

Hey @fr0 can you try this workaround for Chrome 72? #1872 (comment)

This fix will be released shortly in 3.1.5.

Thanks for the response - I just tried the workaround and it does work.
Glad to know you have a fix. You probably want to fast track that since this bug results in a really terrible startup experience for new users.

The workaround fixes the main issue but I noticed one other thing that still occurs with the workaround: if the test log gets too long, the scrollbar appears for the entire page instead of just the test log. This has the weird side effect of scrolling my app off the screen, and then when cypress tries to scroll an element in view, it seems like it's fighting with myself.

I'll see if I can take screenshots to illustrate what I mean.

** With Electron: **

** With Chrome 72 + workaround: **

If this is just an issue that occurs with the workaround and not with 3.1.5 then it's not worth worrying about, but I thought I'd report it anyway.

@fr0 Yes, this is a new bug. I will open a new issue.

Thank you! I appreciate your hard work!
