[Problem/Bug]: Disabling built-in error pages not working as expected

[Göksel Göktas]

What happened?

Setting IsBuiltInErrorPageEnabled to FALSE via ICoreWebView2Settings::put_IsBuiltinErrorPageEnabled does not disable the built-in error pages as expected.

Expected Behavior

• The built-in error pages should be disabled after setting IsBuiltInErrorPageEnabled to FALSE.
• Unless the library-user navigates to a custom error page, nothing should be displayed instead of the built-in error pages when navigation errors occur.

Actual Behavior

• Even with IsBuiltInErrorPageEnabled set to FALSE, the built-in error pages still appear.
• Emitting HTML error responses from ICoreWebView2WebResourceRequestedEventHandler results in the built-in error page flashing before displaying the custom error page.

Additional Information

The issue persists even when omitting the NavigateToString call in ICoreWebView2NavigationCompletedEventHandler.

Importance

Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.
