3704912 - Latest Webview2 Version 144.xxx causes problems with SAP GUI HTML control when using edge as browser control in SAP GUI for Windows

Since the automatic latest Webview2 Version 144.xxx from Microsoft the HTML control is not working properly anymore when using "edge" as browser control in SAP GUI for Windows.

The following issues may occur:

1) Clicking links / pressing buttons does not work anymore
2) Content is no longer displayed (e.g blank header in ALV in SM50, blank screen in SE80 dropdown list and RZ11)

There is no issue when using Webview2 Version 143.xxx in the machine or "Internet Explorer" browser control (SAP Logon Options -> Interaction Design -> Control settings -> HTML Control -> Browser Control)

This could happen in any transaction that contains a html-based content.
