BrowserAuthError: monitor_window_timeout in react-spa example application

Start with the react-spa example application and reproduce the flow after the refresh token expires: sign in, wait, then use the “Request Token” button. Review the BrowserAuthError monitor_window_timeout and InteractionRequiredAuthError outcomes in the browser logs; done means the documented expected token or interaction-required result occurs consistently.

Please provide us with the following information:

This issue is for a: (mark with an x)

- [ x] bug report -> please search issues before submitting
- [ ] feature request
- [ ] documentation issue or request
- [ ] regression (a behavior that used to work and stopped in a new release)

Minimal steps to reproduce

When the project (react-spa) is ready to be debugged, start the application (e.g. debug in Visual Studio 2022). And as the application has started up then:

1. Sign in as a user
2. Wait until the refresh token expires.
3. Use the 'Request Token'- button to call Microsoft Graph.
4. As the result the problem may or may not occur.

Any log messages given by the failure

BrowserAuthError.ts:351 Uncaught (in promise) BrowserAuthError: monitor_window_timeout: Token acquisition in iframe failed due to timeout. For more visit: aka.ms/msaljs/browser-errors

Expected/desired behavior

After http 400 error a new token would be successfully be fetched in iFrame.

Or this particular application may work correctly if it returns:
:3000/#error=interaction_required&error_description=Session+information+is+not+sufficient+for+single-sign-on.

(InteractionRequiredAuthError: interaction_required: Session information is not sufficient for single-sign-on.)

OS and Version?

Windows 10,

Versions

Mention any other details that might be useful

The 'BrowserAuthError: monitor_window_timeout' does not necessarily occur every time the refresh token has expired. It may also work as expected.

I did save a log when the case was present: the first time it was the monitor_window_timeout that occurred. The second time the refresh token probably was correctly fetched as InteractionRequiredAuthError occurred. I tested this application due to I have used the similar approach to call APIs in my own React project. monitor_window_timeout is often occurring and I tried to run the most simple application with this approach to see is the problem is present.
