Description

What happened?

If we have 2 screens with different scaling, we can see a rendering issue in the Webview2 control.
The window may freeze, preventing users from clicking anything, moving the window, or closing it.

  • Open the WPF-created application in the external screen.
  • Disconnect the external screen
  • Open a dialogue or screen which have the Webview2 control
  • Try to move the window around or try to click X(close button)
  • The users can't move or close the screen

Case 2:
