PWB CEF v3.0.5.2 Whitescreen/PWB CEF v3.0.5.3B RestartOnClose Issues

Scott,

We recently upgraded from PWB v3 IE to PWB CEF 3.0.5.2 and have been extremely happy with CEF. It has fixed a great deal of rendering issues on various sites. While 99% of the machines running PWB v3 CEF work great, we did have a handful of machines that show just a plain white screen and nothing we have done has resolved that issue on these small amount of computers -- even re-imaging them. We tried changing GPURendering settings, tested with clean, untouched .ini files, nothing works on the small minority. On those machines that have issues with PWB CEF, it's not just on certain sites, basically NOTHING will render under PWB CEF at all.

I read in another thread in this forum about using the url.txt to render some sites in IE, others in CEF, etc., but that has resulted in instability for us on several sites -- brings back some issues on sites when using IE, so using the url.txt and mixed PWB IE/PWB CEF isn't really an option for us.

As a test, I downloaded PWB CEF v3.0.5.3 (Beta) from your site, and it fixed the white screen problem on the small amount of computers that encountered the issue! So, although it's still in Beta, we decided that we would just use that version on the small amount of computers with the white screen. However, we discovered that there appears to be a bug in the RestartOnClose feature in the 3.0.5.3B version. We've always had RestartOnClose=True set, but after running across a similar report in this forum on a previous version of PWB CEF, we tried InactivityAction=Restart as well (which apparently fixes the bug in a previous version). However, when we tried that setting in the new 3.0.5.3B CEF, the bug seems to remain. After our set period of inactivity, the browser closes and does not restart in the Beta version.

Any suggestion on either the whitescreen issue for PWB CEF 3.0.5.2 (other than using the url.txt for some mixed IE/CEF sites) or the RestartOnCloseIssue for PWB CEF 3.0.5.3B? Thanks!

PWB 3.05.3 RC (Release Candidate) now available on the Beta Downloads page should fix the restart issue.

I tried it out and that definitely resolved it, thank you!

We are hoping to release 3.05.3 next week barring any new issues.
