I can confirm - should be easy to reproduce, since it happens all the time. Had me spitting mad at the game, because when I tried to hand in her quest, she walked away, interrupted the conversation and I never received the reward (Bunker Hill trading caravan station for the settlements), since this part of the dialogue is no longer available afterwards.

A save (and some additional information) is provided in Issue #27380 [closed as duplicate] for the same problem with the quest.

Just for convenience I add here the comment and save BlackPete mentions, you can also refer to the Issue #27380:

I have FO4 1.10.138.0 installed, all DLCs, and the latest 2.0.8 UFO4P. I use no mods, except UFO4P and the following DLC (plugin) modules:

Chinese Stealth Armor
Modular Backpack
Armor Paintjobs: Minutemen and Railroad

When I arrived after doing her quest, she was working on the plants, and the problem always happened for sure, when she was working the plants, which she seems to do the entire day.

Usually it would be only annoying, but the reward dialogue for her quest is not repeatable, so if you loose it (because of her walking away, because of a NPC walking between you during the dialogue, or - like this time - when Supermutants attack from the entrance) you also loose the reward (Trade Caravan Stations) permanently! Since this problem always happened I always save before talking to her. It is quite easy to loose the reward otherwise.

In this game I made a save again, and this was good, since Supermutants attacked during dialog. I restored my save, went outside and killed the Supermutants before talking to Kessler. After killing them I again made a save before talking to Kessler - and this save I add here! If you try to hand in the quest, you should see her walking away. There is a small pause in the dialog, before she says the last two sentences which give you the Trading Caravan Stations, and during this pause she always starts to walk.

I suspect, that after the dialog some script override which makes her working the plants the entire day is switched off somehow and her normal configured schedule takes over, and she starts to walk. Or the other way around. It always happens during dialog.
