Open a new tab and use the selectWindow tab=open command for the task.
However, when tab=open, it often freezes.
The attached photo shows the phenomenon of stopping when tab=open was repeated 300 times for testing.
11/300, 88/500, 41/500, 11/100
This is a very random phenomenon with information stopping at each loop.
This phenomenon also occurs in Chrome and Firefox, and no errors or logs are displayed.
Please let me know a solution or improvement. We really need this work.
Hello, thanks for the report. We confirmed the issue with the below test macro.
=> We will work on this issue. I will update this forum post once a fix is available.

We debugged this. For some reason IPC gets inactive/stops working on this tab sometimes. The new version 9.2.6 helps with this. It has two changes:
The error happens less frequently
If the error happens, you get a good error message now instead of the IDE just stopping. You can then catch the error and e. g. reload the tab content.
