TestCafe v2.5.0 Native-automation

[robogo83]

What is your Scenario?

I've updated TestCafe from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0 to try the new native-automation feature. I am using chrome as my browser and my test includes opening multiple windows.

What is the Current behavior?

The initial window is loaded as expected but when the new window is supposed to be open the chrome browser blocks it with a message saying that pop-up windows are blocked. This behaviour persists even after allowing pop-up windows in Chrome browser.
The test runs as expected without --native-automation flag
The question is, does it mean that running tests in multiple windows with native-automation is not allowed anymore?

What is the Expected behavior?

New window is not being blocked by the browser when using --native-automation flag

What is your public website URL? (or attach your complete example)

test('multiple windows', async (t) => {
 await t.openWindow('https://www.google.com/')
await t.openWindow('https://testcafe.io/documentation/402635/guides/overview/getting-started')
})

What is your TestCafe test code?

I cannot provide the test code but I would like to know if this is a general issue. I believe if you reproduce a scenario with multiple windows you should get a similar outcome unless there's something in my local setting that is blocking the pop-up windows.
