While I am taking my test, the test window is automatically closing thereby closing my camera.  What should be done?

This is due to multiple consecutive page refreshes made in middle of an ongoing test within a span of 1sec to 5 secs. The Test Window and SecureProctor Diagnostic Window loses a connect and the test window closes abruptly. Hence, we would recommend not to hover around the questions within a short span of consecutive seconds triggering multiple refreshes within the page.
