[Problem/Bug]: The context menu does not highlight colors when hovering over the mouse

What happened?

Since the 147 version of Edge, the mouse hover selection has disappeared from the context menu. It is not clear which item is highlighted.

Could you share a side-by-side comparison (screenshot or GIF) of the working behavior (v146) vs. the current broken behavior (v147)?

[leonidukg]

Yes, the point is not how it was. It's about how it should be and how it works in regular MS Edge

[Navdeep-ss]

I'm not entirely sure I understand the bug or the expected behavior clearly. Would it be possible to provide a side-by-side comparison showing the expected behavior versus what's actually happening? That would help me investigate more effectively.

When you hover the mouse over any menu item, it should be highlighted. I do not know how else to tell you about a simple function.

I tested this on the same version and highlighting appears to be working correctly on my end:

Is this reproducing only on your machine, or have you seen it on other machines as well?

[leonidukg]

I checked in the Windows Sandbox and everything is working correctly there. This is very strange because I did not make any settings. Is there any explanation for which way to look at the problem? It is possible to configure the registry.
It definitely does not depend on the Edge profile, because I have several profiles in the program and it manifests itself in the same way.

I deleted webview2 completely from the computer and reinstalled it again, but it didn't help.
The same thing. I tried disabling GPU acceleration in the program, but it doesn't help.
This is a very strange behavior.

[leonidukg]

I found the reason and it's an obvious WebView2 bug.

If you turn off Personalization - Colors in Windows 11 - "Show accent color on title bars and windows borders", the menu works without problems.

As soon as I turn it on, the menu stops working properly.

I also noticed that it still depends on which color is selected. Sometimes everything works, but with a different color, which I chose, everything stops working.
Most likely, the developers have tied the selection color to some kind of setting and it does not work stably.
And it depends on the color saturation.

Thank you for reporting this. We've identified the issue and a fix is in progress. We'll update here once it's available in an upcoming Runtime release.
