Description

What happened?

I'm developing a reader based on WebView2, with my own word-swiping menu, but when I use the touch screen to select text, the default mini menu pops up and covers the text below, which makes my menu not work.

And this default mini menu is not interactive, nothing happens when clicking the button.

I hope it is disabled by default in WebView2, just like #2140 .

BTW, I tried --disable-features=msWebOOUI,msPdfOOUI, not work.

Importance

Repro steps

Prepare a touch screen first.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with a WinUI3 WebView2 control on a touch-enabled Windows 11 system using the listed Runtime and SDK versions. Compare the behavior with the corresponding Edge version and verify whether text-selection mini-menu buttons remain non-interactive and obscure the page; done means the unwanted menu is disabled or behaves correctly in WebView2.
