Describe the bug Two issues I observe with PDF viewer in CEF with off screen rendering. If I scroll a PDF file with mouse wheel, then drag with touch input, then scroll with mouse wheel again, scroll wheel no longer works until I reload the page. If I use keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + or Ctrl - to change zoom, they do not function at all. However Ctrl ] or [ does rotate the page. This only occurs in the PDF viewer. Normal web pages behave fine. My app requires off screen rendering as it has uses custom UI and rendering systems. To Reproduce I can repro the Zoom keyboard shortcut issue with cefclient: On Windows 11, run cefclient test app with command line --off-screen-rendering-enabled --no-sandbox --disable-gpu --url="https://api.printnode.com/static/test/pdf/multipage.pdf#toolbar=0" Try Ctrl +, - and Ctrl ], [ Observe rotate working, but zoom not. Repeat the process without the off screen rendering option to observe expected function. I cannot reproduce the mouse -> touch -> mouse wh

Describe the bug Off screen rendering with 'multi_threaded_message_loop = true' in Chinese IME (微软拼音) input , the IME position is incorrect, especially when opening the browser for input for the first time. Under the following conditions, there are many errors in the example [cef-master\tests\cefclient\browser\osr_window_win.cc / osr_ime_handler_win.cc ... ] osr_ime_handler_win.cc: OsrImeHandlerWin::SetInputLanguage >>input_language_id_ = static_cast(wcstoul(&keyboard_layout[KL_NAMELENGTH >> 1], 0, 16)); The value of keyboard_layout should be in hexadecimal, right? SetCaretPos The calling thread is not taken into consideration. But it is called from OnImeCompositionRangeChanged > OsrImeHandlerWin::ChangeCompositionRange > OsrImeHandlerWin::MoveImeWindow, its thread is inconsistent with the thread of the win window. Another issue is that, When CEF first opened the search website and entered the information. windows callback: WM_IME_COMPOSITION message sent to CEF, the C

Describe the bug Selecting text on a PDF does not trigger the CefRenderHandler::OnTextSelectionChanged callback. To Reproduce Open https://ontheline.trincoll.edu/images/bookdown/sample-local-pdf.pdf or any other PDF Select some text and observe whether OnTextSelectionChanged gets called Expected behavior For OnTextSelectionChanged to get called just as it does for text selections on HTML documents. Version: OS: Windows 10 CEF Version: 141.0.11 Additional context If you right click on the PDF with text selected, the ContextMenuHandler::OnBeforeContextMenu() gets called with a CefContextMenuParams object that does have the text selection, accessible via params->GetSelectionText(). So the text selection is available to CEF, it just isn't exposed to the CefRenderHandler as one would expect.
