Description
What happened?
The default context menu items Back, Forward, and Refresh disappear from the context menu of the PDF viewer when an event handler is added to the CoreWebView2.ContextMenuRequested event.
This occurs even when an empty event handler is used.
view.CoreWebView2.ContextMenuRequested += (s, args) => { };
