Is it possible to reopen this issue as I am getting this issue on Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit) No trace to report, it just fails in java on the code line where driver.manage().window().maximize(); is called.

I got the same issue with Chrome 60 (chrome driver 2.30/2.31, Selenium 3.4, Ubuntu 17.04) in AT framework Codeception. As a workaround I have to specify window size in my suite config manually, e.g. window_size: 1920 x 1080 (instead of window_size: maximize). BTW latest Firefox has similar issue, see https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/820
