After launching a bootstrap modal and closing it, selenium is not able to find any other element on the page.
Three buttons are shown in screen below. Out of which function of 2 buttons is to launch a bootstrap modal and close it, and function of third button ( middle one ) is to simply receive a "click".
When tested individually, test for all 3 buttons works well, but when tested collectively it fails.
First time a test which launch a modal and close it, will pass, but subsequent test fails with ElementClickInterceptedError.
There are sufficient implicit waits in between so that modal can load properly, still issue persist.
PS - In case you need to try at your end, follow these steps 1) copy below 2 files 2) install selenium webdriver using npm install selenium-webdriver
3) change fileName variable in test as per your own folder.

You don't need to use the implicitwait everytime. What you need to wait for is the visibility of the elements before doing the click operations.
There is a elementIsVisible
method available in the wait condition. I've modified the code to check for the presence of the element and then the visibility of the element before doing the click.
(async function uitest() {
let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
let element
try {
await driver.get(fileName)
//Launch Modal 1 and close
await driver.findElement(By.id('launchModalButton')).click()
let closeButton1 = await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.id('closeButton')))
closeButton1 = await driver.wait(until.elementIsVisible(closeButton1))
await closeButton1.click()
// middle button click
await driver.findElement(By.id('button')).click()
//Launch Modal 2 and close
await driver.findElement(By.id('launchModalButton_2')).click()
let closeButton2 = await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.id('closeButton_2')))
closeButton2 = await driver.wait(until.elementIsVisible(closeButton2))
await closeButton2.click()
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
} finally {
await driver.quit();
}
}
)()
