WebView2 version 134 Interactivity Issues

Question

WebView2 version 134 Interactivity Issues

Mark McCartney 50

With the latest push of Edge/Chrome and WebView2 to version 134 our webapps have become unusable. Dropdowns flicker but the user cannot select a choice. No errors on the page when we look at dev-tools. Anyone else have this issue? Ideas on a fix?

Hi @Mark McCartney ,

Could you please provide a minimal reproducible code example of your app's dropdowns for us?

Another disgruntled and affected user.

If you're going to auto-update clients, provide NO way for anyone to downgrade and actively block any method of uninstall there is, then you better have a bulletproof QA process.

Pull this update now.
Force a roll back or patch it ASAP.

I have the same issue. We are using Outlook Classic and office 365. This WebView bug has been the Bain of my existence all morning. Plugins for outlook do not work, edge has autocomplete issues and adding things via plugins is failing as well. best to use online versions of any apps you regularly use until the fix for this is rolled out.

Hi @Mark McCartney and @FP,

Thank you for your feedback. As far as I know, Microsoft is currently investigating this issue and will provide more information when it becomes available. If there's any update, I will post here. FYI, the only workaround available for the time being is staying at 133 if possible.

UPDATE

The Edge Product Group has completed work on a fix for this issue and projects that it could be available by the end of this week, provided no last-minute quality, security, technical, or release issues are identified before then. If anything occurs that would cause that projection to be revised, we will update you promptly.

UPDATE (3.14)

This issue was first corrected with the release of version 134.0.3124.68. For anyone having a similar issue, please upgrade to the latest version to test the fix.

Our whole production around the world is effected by this version 134. What are the steps to downgrade to 133 and make sure the WebView2 component never auto upgrades?
Anonymous

2025-03-11T15:14:02.0766667+00:00

At present, Webview 2 is not displayed in control panel.

How do we downgrade to 133? Do we need to downgrade MS Edge to 133 also?

Thank you @Anonymous but we need an official way to downgrade, please provide the steps or a script.

Any update on the fix? When can we expect the release?

Answer 2

When I load a webview2 into a windows form, I save the inner.html with javascript and then try to save it in a string.
I have been using the Async/Await .net clauses in my sub/functions.
I can run this program the 3-4 times in a row just fine. But then after that. the javascript function fails to load into innertext part from webview. Is this a known bug with webview2? Is there a work around?

If I close out the program entirely it resets something and then works fine until that 4th or 5th try.
Very frustrating. When I use a button click to execute the copying from webview it works 100% of the time. But of course I want programmatically copy those contents.

'pull inner html out of page after Webview2 has completed....

Private Async Function WebNavigation_Complete() As Task

    'sHTML = Await WebView21.ExecuteScriptAsync("document.body.innerText;")

        End Function
