Cypress Runner unexpectedly closes itself while navigating to a specific URL with a different origin

[TiManGames]

If you navigate to the following url using cy.visiy https://rom.my.universe.cdp.gigya.com, the test will close itself and Cypress will go back to the main specs screen. A test shouldn't behave like that, any error message would be in line.

Other people have tried to navigate to this URL on their end and got the same result.

I'm baffled as to why this is happening, but I noticed two things:

1. Cypress closes itself specifically while fetching a request to https://admin.us1.gigya.com/admin.console.getSamlSettingsByDomain
2. After closing itself, the URL of the Runner itself changes to https://socialize.us1.gigya.com/__/#/specs

My suspicion: Somehow the redirection manages to change the topmost URL outside of Cypress' test iframe and thus exit the test. What can be done about this?
