Description

What happened?

After I enabled password auto filling, when the save password prompt appears, the whole webview2 window keeps unresponsive for a few seconds.

Importance

Important. My app's user experience is significantly compromised.

Runtime Channel

Stable release (WebView2 Runtime)

Runtime Version

133.0.3065.92

SDK Version

No response

Framework

Win32

Operating System

Windows 11

OS Version

No response

Repro steps

Use the official win32 getting start guide,
use this code to enable password auto save

auto settings_4 = settings.query<ICoreWebView2Settings4>();
settings_4->put_IsGeneralAutofillEnabled(true);
settings_4->put_IsPasswordAutosaveEnabled(true);

Go to google.com to login, and you should be able to observe the issue.

You can see my recording, the window can't even be dragged around when this happens.

It might be a regression, because I must have tested this feature in our app before and if it's this kind of unrepsonsive I will have disabled this feature.
