Description
open any page,
then navigate to mailto:test : work as expected (a dialog prompt appear),
then, without reloading or changing the page, navigate again to mailto:test : this crash the wv2 process.
note : add_LaunchingExternalUriScheme is not used.
the same thing happens with "calculator:", "ms-settings:", "tel:", at first navigation, a prompt dialog appear,
at second navigation, the process crash.
and also "res:" crash the process immediatly at first navigation.
Probably there are others.
