alert(); doesn't work in web apps using PWA

Reported by perec...@gmail.com, Sep 19

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Make a progressive web app with service worker
2. Make a page and call alert();
3. Browse to the page as PWA installed
4. alert() will not show

What is the expected behavior?
alert(); to show

What went wrong?
all calls to alert(); do not show

Did this work before? Yes Before Android Pie

Chrome version: 68.0.3440.91  Channel: stable
OS Version: Pie
Flash Version:
 
BTW in a normal browser everything works fine so don't test there.
Also if phone is connected through USB in dev tools it also works fine.
Bug will only manifest if disconnected from dev tools and only in PWA mode with no browser chrome.
Forgot to mention this is on Pixel 2. Did not test on others.

@ pereclix: Please provide sample URL/test cast to reproduce this issue along with screencast if possible. This would help in further triaging.

Thanks!
Just tried it on Dev with https://mountainous-pedestrian.glitch.me/ on a Pixel 2 and it seems to be working. Would you mind testing dev?
Now it works for me too without any code change. This did not for the past two weeks. Could they have released an update that fixed this?
