Description

Description
Using multiple monitors, when I moved a WPF window over to a different monitor, WebView is lost.
This is happens in version 1.0.790-prerelease. Version 0.9.515-prerelease is fine.

Version
SDK: 1.0.790-prerelease
Runtime: n\a
Framework: WPF
OS: Win10

Repro Steps

  1. Create a simple WPF project
  2. Add WebView2 Control
  3. Move Window from the first monitor to second monitor.

WpfWebView2App_0.9.515-prerelease.zip
WpfWebView2App_1.0.790-prerelease.zip

Research direction

Start by running WpfWebView2App_1.0.790-prerelease.zip in a simple WPF project on Windows 10, then move the window between monitors as described. Compare the behavior with WpfWebView2App_0.9.515-prerelease.zip and investigate the WebView2 control during the monitor change. Done means the WebView remains visible after moving the window to the second monitor.
