Description
What happened?
My WinForms app can manage multiple windows with WebView2 controls navigated to pages from the same web application. Sometimes the JavaScript code running in these pages has UI-adjustment code that depends on the size and position of the window. But if that code runs very early in the page lifecycle, the window object's outerWidth and outerHeight properties return drastically different values compared to the real size of the C# form hosting the browser control or of the control itself. If that logic runs after an asynchronous delay, then the values it sees are accurate (at least in that they match the size of the control, although an outer property should arguably match the form's size, as reported in #4821).
For example, if the startup code looks like this:
alert(`Window bounds: ${window.outerWidth} x ${window.outerHeight} @ (${window.screenLeft}, ${window.screenTop})`);
setTimeout(
()=>alert(`Window bounds: ${window.outerWidth} x ${window.outerHeight} @ (${window.screenLeft}, ${window.screenTop})`),
0);
Then the two subsequent alert dialogs will report sizes two sizes that differ significantly. C# code inspecting the window's Form's position before running that script agrees with the latter alert (except that it is off by the margin reported in #4821).
(The sample code above also demonstrates #5003.)
I have a workaround I can use for this issue, but it's pretty ugly, and reorganizing the web app's logic to avoid reading the position too early would be a big undertaking.
Importance
Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.

Repro steps
(The upload feature isn't working right now; I'll try to get my demo uploaded later.)
- Run the demo app in that folder.
- Click the Launch Second Window button to launch a window in which the script code will run.
- Observe the size/position values reported in alert dialogs in the new window.The first alert should disagree significantly with the real size. The second alert will report a position that is more or less in agreement with the window's real size.
