Description

What happened?

After adding this browser plugin, click on SETTING in this plugin, and the pop-up window will not be captured by the NewWindowRequestedEventHandler at all.
The pop-up windows of other browser plugins can be captured normally, I only encountered this window that cannot be captured, which is very strange.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in a Win32 WebView2 app with the kiss-translator plugin, using the SETTING pop-up and the reported Edge/WebView2 versions. Compare the special window with plugin windows that NewWindowRequestedEventHandler captures; done means determining whether this window can be intercepted and documenting or correcting the behavior.
