Repro steps
- Open https://google.com in a WebView2 control on a computer with touchscreen available.
- Right-click on the About link using mouse/trackpad and notice the context menu opens correctly.
- Long-press on touchscreen on the same About link. Nothing shows up. Screen will freeze a bit. Need to move the mouse/trackpad to reset the page to bring it back to life.
- Note that long-press on touchscreen on the page without any link/image works fine.
