Dropdowns do not respond in WebView 2

[alshival]

Describe the bug

Working on a WinUI 3 project with a web view to navigate a site. When a user tries to submit a job application through the app, they are unable to select from drop down selectors.

Big bummer. I think it is related to this issue that might have been solved at some point a few updates ago, though I am still seeing it occur in the latest version of SDK.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Create WebView2 at https://upwork.com.
2. Start an application to any job.
3. Click on a dropdown.

Site requires scripts, cookies, and basic tracking:

// WebView2 sender
sender.CoreWebView2.Profile.PreferredTrackingPreventionLevel = CoreWebView2TrackingPreventionLevel.Basic;
sender.CoreWebView2.Settings.IsScriptEnabled = true;
var cookieManager = sender.CoreWebView2.CookieManager;
var cookies = await cookieManager.GetCookiesAsync(null);

Expected behavior

App makes selection.

I tested 1.6 experimental1 and the issue with the flyouts and context menus described in following issue still occur:
MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback#4140
Will this be addressed separately?

Thanks for checking on this! I believe the team is re-evaluating this bug, yes.

@grabinat We retested the specific repro steps of this issue in 1.6-experimental1 and see it as fixed. Is there something different about the scenario you're trying?

The fix is now also in Version 1.5.4 (1.5.240607001).

@codendone Sorry my bad – I just looked into it again. The project I used for testing, is packed by a separate Windows Application Packaged project. Even though, I did update the testing project to 1.6, I was not aware that the WAP was overriding it to 1.5. After adjusting the WAP it works now. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the fix.
