Windows application crashes after rollout of WebView2 146.0.3856.62

[jiroycho]

Windows applications that use both WebView2 and CEF for loading web pages are crashing after the rollout of WebView2 runtime 146.0.3856.62 - MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback#5540.
The crash seems to be stemming from libcef.dll.

Is there any CefSharp patch planned so that it can co-exist with WebView2 146.0.3856.62 or later?

When CEF releases a stable version of 146 then I'll release a new version.

@amaitland Hi Alex, since now CEF has a stable version of 146 rolled out, can you please share any tentative timeline of CefSharp version 146 roll out? thanks

I've already upgraded, unfortunately there are two tests that are now failing which need to be investigated and resolved before a release. I'm working on it.

Hi @amaitland @campersau - one of the Cefsharp v146 changelog item still seems to have PR 5228 and the subsequent fix PR 5229 open, just wanted to confirm this cefsharp release is a stable version to consume which would be compatible with webview2 runtime 146.0.3856.62 or higher? or would there be a new version on top of 146.0.70? This is critical for our customers
JFYI @jiroycho
