Description
Description
WebView2 and QT both use the same window name, which causes problems (see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-85768)
Previously, when our application integrated with CEF, we patched libcef.dll with a custom window name. Since WebView2 is shared at the OS level, we can no longer do that.
