Question

Input text box is not working with the current webview2 (134.0.3124.51)

Muthusamy, Raj 15

After an Webview2 update (v 134.0.3124.51) released March 6,2025, text input fields are not working. Users are unable to enter more than one digit into the text input field.

Anyone else facing the issue?

Hi @Muthusamy, Raj

I test with the same version of WebView2 but failed to reproduce the issue. Could you please provide a minimal code snippet which can reproduce the issue?

By the way, you could check this issue. Does it the same issue as yours?

We're having the exact same issue. Is there any information regarding a possible (and urgent) fix or workaround?

@Anonymous This has to do something with the UDF cache that WebView2 is generating. It's reproducible with Number input fields with a UDF folder combination copied from the previous version of WebView2.

Hi @Muthusamy, Raj

You could use your workarounds for now and waiting for the fix.

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.

We can reproduce like this:

Browse to the page
Input text
Submit the page
Browse to the same page
Input same text

the page submits the first character only

Workaround is to copy + paste the text from notepad

If we open in the browser, it works fine.

Issue is within Webview 2. Since this health care domain app, pathologist will not have time to do work around.

Is there any other way to fix this issue?

Chris Jones Yes, copy & Paste works. Thanks for sharing. We have a few other workarounds as well.

Install the previous fixed version and point the system to that using an environment variable.

Start your number with 0.

Have a number in the field, go out, and come back in. Remove the selection/highlight through the arrow keys and start entering the numbers.

These other workarounds work as well.
