WebView2 version 134 Interactivity Issues

WebView2 version 134 Interactivity Issues

Mark McCartney 20

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.

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.

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?

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 @ShiJieLi-MSFT but we need an official way to downgrade, please provide the steps or a script.
