[Problem/Bug]: The debugger message that explains event handler reentrancy and native debugging doesn't show up under Managed debugging #5056
Description
What happened?
Debugging a .NET app that shows a dialog in a webview2 event handler halts the process with a message:
Running a message loop synchronously in an event handler in Webview can cause reentrancy issue. Please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/concepts/threading-model#re-entrancy for more information about threading model in WebView2 and how to enable native code debugging for this scenario.
Very nice and helpful - much appreciated!
But that message, which tells you to "enable native code debugging", only appears when you've already enabled native code debugging. If you're debugging using Managed debugging, the message doesn't appear. Your app simply disappears with no explanation.
I have precious little remaining hair, and I can't afford to spend hours pulling it out when my app just quits with no explanation. For the sake of all the future Richies who might have to go through this, please make that message appear under Managed debugging!
Importance
Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.
