PWB CEF AlwaysOnTop and Dropdowns

Post by Scott »

In PWB CEF when setting [Browser]AlwaysOnTop=True, the HTML select boxes appear behind the browser. This is a bug in Chrome not in PWB.

If you are using PWB CEF it is not recommended to enable always on top unless you know the pages being displayed do not use HTML select boxes.

The following settings will also have the same issue.

[Browser]
CheckAlwaysOnTop=True

[SecondWindow]
AlwaysOnTop=True

Please note this is a bug in Chrome and not PWB.

Hello,

I'm wondering if this issue is resolved with the release of PWB version 3.05.0 CEF. I'm hoping the answer is yes, as I see the release includes an update to CEF 2883 Chrome 55.

Thank you,
Tony

It is still listed as open on the CEF page.

Update: As of CEF build 3538 (Chrome 70) this has been fixed.

PWB version 3.05.3 CEF uses build 3538 and the issue has been resolved.
