Iframe zone refresh closes popups on latest chrome browsers

Hi,

I have an iframe zone activation code with a refresh interval of 5 secs. This is to rotate through a set of ads uniformly. 

The iframe is embedded in a main html page which has some window confirm & dialog boxes for the users. On latest versions of Chrome, 67.0.3396.99. 64 bit, when the users happen to open a confirm or an alert popup, they get closed automatically as soon as the iframe reloads after 5 secs.  This is causing the users to miss the confirm/alert messages.

I have tried this on a stand alone html page that has an iframe to another site (not an adserver) and reload it with a set interval on the html page. I have a button that opens a window confirm popup. This time the popup does not close automatically and waits for the user's action.

Here is my zone invocation code

<iframe id='af0b20f0' name='af0b20f0' src='http://ads.xyz.com/www/delivery/afr.php?refresh=5&amp;zoneid=12&amp;cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' width='160' height='600'><a href='http://ads.xyz.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=acc02726&amp;cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' target='_blank'><img src='http://ads.xyz.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=12&amp;cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&amp;n=acc02726' border='0' alt='' /></a></iframe>

When the iframe loads, it drops some html & js onto the iframe document.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'>
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xml:lang='en' lang='en'>

        setTimeout('window.location.replace("http://ads.xyz.com/www/delivery/afr.php?refresh=5&zoneid=18&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&loc=")', 5000);
    // ]]> --></script><noscript><meta http-equiv='refresh' content='5;url=http://ads.xyz.com/www/delivery/afr.php?refresh=5&zoneid=18&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&loc='></noscript>
    <style type='text/css'>
body {margin:0; height:100%; background-color:transparent; width:100%; text-align:center;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<img src='http://ads.xyz.com/www/images/cfb0de2dec5309a3dfd5e89b12193c42.jpg' width='160' height='600' alt='' title='' border='0' /><div id='beacon_d941a875e3' style='position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; visibility: hidden;'><img src='http://ads.xyz.com/www/delivery/lg.php?bannerid=233&amp;campaignid=90&amp;zoneid=18&amp;cb=d941a875e3' width='0' height='0' alt='' style='width: 0px; height: 0px;' /></div>
</body>
</html>

It has some thing to do with how adserver is reloading the iframe. What am I missing here? Is this a known issue with revive? Any solution or links that can help?
