Answer 2

As stated by @Raserhin, there's an open issue with google and the problem seems to be with the new App Script runtime powered by Chrome v8.

A small workaround (until the issue is resolved) will be to disable the App Script runtime as follows: (Run -> Disable App Script runtime powered by Chrome V8). The project will now run with Apps Script Legacy which does not have this issue.
