<webview> NewWindow.attach is broken on 0.48.0+

See original GitHub issue

NWJS Version : 0.48.0+ (tested with 0.48.0, 0.48.3, 0.49.0-beta1, all dev) Operating System : Linux x64

Expected behavior

After attaching new window to a webview as documented here you should be able to interact with the page with keyboard and mouse.

Actual behavior

Window is attached to the webview and appears to be responsive. Can interact with the page via DevTools (e.g. set input value). However, clicking on anything within the page has no effect.

It does work correctly using 0.47.3 so I’m hoping it’ll be possible to isolate what broke it.

How to reproduce

package.json

{
  "name": "newwindow",
  "main": "index.html"
}

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>newwindow</title>
  <style>
    html,
    body {
      width: 100%;
      height: 100%;
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <webview src="https://www.encodedna.com/javascript/demo/open-new-window-using-javascript-method.htm"></webview>
  <script>
    document.querySelector('webview').addEventListener('newwindow', e => {
      const webview = document.createElement('webview');
      webview.style.width = '50vw';
      webview.style.height = '50vh';
      webview.style.position = 'absolute';
      webview.style.border = 'solid 2px red';
      webview.style.left = '0';
      webview.style.top = '0';
      document.body.appendChild(webview);
      e.window.attach(webview);
    });
    setTimeout(() => {
      nw.Window.get(window).showDevTools();
    }, 100);
  </script>
</body>

</html>

Run it and click on ‘Open new window’ withing the demo page. Try to interact with the popup.
