I have verified that the issue is no longer reproducible in the latest Nightly (63.0a1, Build ID 20180816100035) on Windows 10, Mac 10.13 and Arch Linux x64.

I managed to reproduce the issue using an older version of Nightly (2018-08-12) on Windows 10x64.
I retested everything using beta 62.0b19 on Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and macOS 10.12. The bug is not reproducing anymore.
