Description

There are a few scenarios in which the WebView's context menu end up saving files.
Some commands work fine such as 'Save image as', but some end up invoking a none standard download behavior, where the OnDownloadStarting function is never called, and the default download UI (buggy on UWP) is always visible.
These are the commands I found problematic -

  • 'Save As' on the entire page context menu
  • 'Web Capture' results. Specifically 'Capture full page' and then save, or 'Capture area' and then 'Mark up capture' and then save.

SDK: 1.0.1905-prerelease
Runtime: Latest Edge Dev Channel (116.0.1938.1)
Framework: UWP
OS: Win10
