Description
What happened?
With Webview2 runtime 133, the following issue was introduced:
Press CTRL+F to open default search dialog of Webview2. Search for some text which actually exits on the page. The results will be highlighted. Now turn visibility of Webview2 off. The default search dialog becomes hidden, too. So far, so good. Now turn visibility of Webview2 on again. The search results on the page are still highlighted, so the search session is still active, but the search dialog is not displayed. Trying to open it by CTRL+F fails. After reloading the page or navigating away from it, a new search can be started by CTRL+F and the default search dialog is displayed again.
With webview2 runtime 132 the issue didn't occur.
