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

[amaitland]

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

PR 5229 is merged , will there be a new Cefsharp release soon with it? @amaitland
