Performing browser close action stopped working in NWjs v0.46.3+

[TheRealDannyyy]

NWJS Version: v0.46.3+
Operating System: Windows 10

Expected behavior

Basic browser actions like closing or requesting fullscreen, leads to NWjs freezing or not working as expected.

Actual behavior

It should work like it did in NWjs versions prior to v0.46.3.

How to reproduce

1. Download NWjs v0.46.3+
2. Extract and run package.zip
3. Press "close" or ESCAPE key to performance basic browser close
4. Notice application freezing and not closing as expected

It could be related to the browser permissions system but not sure. Can't debug it myself.

@rogerwang Would you mind looking into this? It's affecting several Construct users and we'd like to keep using general browser actions instead of using NWjs specific ones. I'm open for any questions regarding this issue.

This issue is probably related to #7566 but that issue only covers the fullscreen action.

I just encountered this bug too, it actually starts from 0.46.0, 0.45.6 still works for me.

Could you please provide another sample? Yours is a big minified JS file and it's not clear what it is doing.

Here's one, touch the close text or press esc to send close browser request.
package.zip

@avishaymizrav yours are no different...

#7629 - maybe this will help 😋

I just tested this again with a minimal repro and it seems to be caused by the game engine (Construct 2).
Not sure why, would have to get in contact with the game engine developer.
