[🐛 Bug]: DevTools doesn't switch to another tab/window

[asolntsev]

Description

When DevTools opens CDP session with one window/tab, it never switches to other windows/tabs - even if user explicitly asked for it.

the problem:

Reproducible Code

ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
String windowHandle1 = driver.getWindowHandle();
DevTools devToolsTab1 = driver.getDevTools();
devToolsTab1.createSessionIfThereIsNotOne(windowHandle1); // Operates with the first tab

driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.TAB);

String windowHandle2 = driver.getWindowHandle();
DevTools devToolsTab2 = driver.getDevTools();
devToolsTab2.createSessionIfThereIsNotOne(windowHandle2); // Still operates with the FIRST TAB
