Issue Report – Browser Restarts After Each Action

When running a web test with TestComplete, after each action the Chrome browser:

closes,
then reopens automatically,
before executing the next step.

This causes major lag and leads to test failures (e.g. selecting a value from a comboBox fails because the browser reloads).

Environment
Product: TestComplete
Version: [your exact TestComplete version, e.g. 15.76.42]
Browser: Google Chrome 139.0.7258.139
TestComplete Chrome Extension: Installed & enabled
OS: [Windows 10/11 + build number]
Project type: Web automation (JavaScript / NameMapping)
Observations
This issue is recent – previously, the browser stayed open during the whole test execution.
No major changes in my scripts (only environment/browser/TestComplete updates).
The issue is reproducible every time with Chrome.
Steps to Reproduce
Run a simple web test (open a page, enter text, click a button).
Observe browser behavior: after each action, Chrome closes and reopens before continuing.
Actual Result
Chrome browser closes/reopens repeatedly after each step.
Significant lag during execution.
Input errors (comboBox value selection fails due to reloading).
Expected Result
Chrome should remain open and stable throughout the test execution.
Actions should be executed sequentially without unnecessary browser restarts.

Is this a known bug in the current TestComplete release with Chrome 139?
Is there a configuration/workaround to prevent Chrome from restarting after each test action?
