I just installed the latest patch for UFT 11.5 bringing it up to 11.53. I’m seeing different behavior for a web test that iterates. Is this expected or a bug?

To reproduce this, I created a test that uses only the Web addin. It has one line: i = 1. The global data table has 3 rows of data in column A. The test settings are set to run all rows. The "Run and Record Settings" are set to open the browser to www.google.com, use Internet Explorer, and both boxes are checked for "Do not record…" and "Close the browser."

UFT 11.52 behavior: The test runs, and the run results show three iterations with no fails or passes since there are no checkpoints in the test.

UFT 11.53 behavior: The test runs, and the run results show iteration iterations 2 and 3 failed. (Iteration 1 had no issues.) There are steps in the report for the failed iterations that I do not recognize:
StartUp.Browser.Navigate [This is the failing test step.]
StartUp.Browser.Sync

Anyone else seeing this? Is this a bug? There’s nothing in the 11.53 Readme file about a change in behavior.
