Gurmeet0107 Can you confirm if these repro steps are similar to your scenario?
- Start with a tab that is loading in "MS Edge mode" (non-IE mode tab)
- Execute a window.open() call to a site that will load in IE mode
- The new window does show to be loading in IE mode
- In this new IE mode window execute a window.close() call
- After code is run users will see the prompt
The scenario works as expected with no prompting in following scenarios:
- In standalone IE11.
- If both windows for above repro load in "MS Edge mode" (non-IE mode tabs).
- If both windows for above repro load in IE mode.
