EventListener "will-navigate" doesn't produce a function.

[jakubkarbowski]

• Electron version: 1.6.12 (electron-prebuilt-compile)
• Operating system: Windows 10

Expected behavior

I am writing application in react. I want to create eventListener, which will send by ipcRenderer url of first webview, to another. Also some links should be blocked. I tried a lot of evens, but finally ended with 'will-navigate' and event.preventDefault().

Actual behavior

Will-navigate doesn't work at all. It doesn't display even console logs. I checked other events. F.g did-navigate or did-navigate-in-page and from these events I received respones.

How to reproduce

ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this).addEventListener('did-navigate-in-page',(event) =>{ console.log("did-navigate-in-page")});

ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this).addEventListener('did-navigate',(event, url) =>{ console.log("did-navigate")});

ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this).addEventListener('will-navigate',(event, url) =>{ console.log("will-navigate")})

And responses are:

did-navigate-in-page 
did-navigate

I believe this is a duplicate of #11885

I don't think so, because this problem refers only to webview. Everything else works perfectly.

Does this issue persist on a later version of Electron, such as 1.8 or 2.0.0?
