Description

Version
SDK: 1.0.774.44
Runtime: v4.0.30319
Framework: WinForms
OS: Win10 Pro

Repro Steps

1. Make an html to open a new window targeting resource within same domain
   ex) window.open("test.html", "_blank");

2. Set corewebview2 object in NewWindowRequested event.

private void CoreWebView2_NewWindowRequested(object sender, CoreWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventArgs e)
{
            e.NewWindow = WebView2.CoreWebView2;
            e.Handled = true;
 }

3. Then corewebview2 object contains the new resource (test.html here).

4. Open devtool to check window.chrome.webview object is established --> false!

5. If you change the target on [Step 1] from "_blank" to "_top", window.chrome.webview is established.

6. Is it a bug? or am I doing something wrong?

Another one.
If you open a new window sourcing from OTHER domain (different url such as, http://microsof.com)
It's fine, window.chrome.webview object is established normally.

Agreed - this looks like a bug to me as well. I've opened it on our backlog to take a look. Thanks!
