[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work] [regression] [worked-in:Version 17.11.5]
My python code below worked flawlessly in creating a Chrome window for Gradio using Selenium as a web driver as my online front end for my python project.
With this new release when I'm in debug mode the interpreter just stops dead in its tracks w/o proceeding (see below). I didn't have this problem in the previous release of Visual Studio.
Note: My code will proceed in non debug mode, but this problem won't allow me to debug my project completely as before.

Create new instance of Chrome Browser using Selenium

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
chrome_options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled')
chrome_options.add_argument('--start-maximized')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)                           <=========== debugger stops (hangs) here w/o proceeding.
# Open a new tab in Chrome
driver.execute_script("window.open('http://127.0.0.1:7860', '_blank')") # Go to gradio.com (local)
# Gradio launches a subprocess on our newly opened Chrome window
#Note: when using debug=True you may experience longer run times on subsequent processing due to thread locks
#demo.launch(debug=True, inbrowser=True)
#demo.launch(inbrowser=True, show_api = False)
demo.launch()
