What happened?

I am attempting to implement a HWND-based WebView2 in the WinAppSDK using a CoreWebView2Controller. I am currently doing this by creating a Win32 window and setting the parent window of the CoreWebView2Controller to it. Using the FrameworkElement.SizeChanged event, I am able to update the CoreWebView2Controller bounds.

However, if I rapidly resize the CoreWebView2Controller for a couple of seconds and then attempt to access another website from the currently loaded site (e.g. Gmail -> YouTube), I sometimes get the following exception:
Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFC76571D35 (ntdll.dll) in Email Inboxes.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x000001B3DEF6D0B0.
with HRESULT
0x80004003 (E_POINTER)
which is accompanied by the following call stack:

Unfortunately, I am unable to find the symbols for Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.dll, so I can't fully understand what is happening during the last three calls of the stack, leaving me unable to further debug this issue.

Importance

@Tech5G5G, could help with below mentioned questions?

  1. Are you using CoreWebView2Controller.Close() or disposing the controller during resize or navigation?
  2. Are you using any custom threading or background tasks that interact with the WebView2 controller?
  3. Does the crash happen only when navigating to specific sites (e.g., YouTube), or is it consistent across all?
  4. Are you using any event handlers like NavigationStarting, NavigationCompleted, or ContentLoading that might be modifying the controller?

Thank you for your quick response!

Are you using CoreWebView2Controller.Close() or disposing the controller during resize or navigation?

No, I only dispose the controller once the application closes.

Are you using any custom threading or background tasks that interact with the WebView2 controller?

No, I only interact with the WebView2 controller on the main thread.

Does the crash happen only when navigating to specific sites (e.g., YouTube), or is it consistent across all?

The crash can occur on all pages, although inconsistently.

Are you using any event handlers like NavigationStarting, NavigationCompleted, or ContentLoading that might be modifying the controller?

No.
