videocapture window not closing - OpenCV

Question

Am trying to capture a live video using my webcam.
And the code i learnt from the internet works like a charm.
But there's an issue after i updated my opencv to 4.2.0 that the videoCapture window is not at all closing no matter how many times i try.

Source Code

import numpy as np
import cv2 as cv
cap = cv.VideoCapture(0)
if not cap.isOpened():
    print("Cannot open camera")
    exit()
while True:
    # Capture frame-by-frame
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    frame = cv.flip(frame,1)
    # if frame is read correctly ret is True
    if not ret:
        print("Can't receive frame (stream end?). Exiting ...")
        break
    # Our operations on the frame come here
    gray = cv.cvtColor(frame, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    # Display the resulting frame
    cv.imshow('frame', gray)
    if cv.waitKey(1) == ord('q'):
        break
# When everything done, release the capture
cap.release()
cv.destroyAllWindows()

You can add the following at the end of the while loop to detect if the window was closed and terminate the loop:

    if cv.getWindowProperty('frame', cv.WND_PROP_VISIBLE) < 1:
        break

The getWindowProperty will return 0 if the window frame no longer exists.
