Thanks for the PR! What do you think about adding a test? Should be able to add something to say https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/master/CefSharp.Test/Framework/RequestContextTests.cs#L79 Just validate that the observer is called, should be able to set a preference and then validate. |

Apologies, I'm currently away from my workspace for about a week or so. A test for the observer sounds good, I will add one to RequestContextTests when I return the following weekend. |
|
Something went wrong with the branch, I will resolve it later. |

CEF 140 CefPreferenceManager AddPreferenceObserver CefRegistration destroyed thread requirement
💡 Result:
When using CefPreferenceManager::AddPreferenceObserver in CEF (including version 140), the following requirements apply: 1. Thread Requirement for AddPreferenceObserver: This method must be called on the browser process UI thread [1][2]. 2. Observer Lifetime: The preference observer remains registered only as long as the CefRegistration object returned by AddPreferenceObserver exists [1][2]. Once that CefRegistration object is destroyed, the observer is automatically unregistered [1][2]. 3. Thread Requirement for CefRegistration Destruction: While the official documentation explicitly mandates the UI thread for calling AddPreferenceObserver [1][2], it does not explicitly specify a thread requirement for the destruction of the CefRegistration object itself. However, because CefRegistration objects in CEF are reference-counted (CefRefPtr), their destruction typically happens when the last reference is released. Since many CEF objects have thread-affine requirements, it is considered best practice to manage the lifetime of such objects—including the release of the final reference—on the same thread where they were created (the browser process UI thread) unless explicitly documented otherwise. 4. Observer Execution: Methods implemented by the CefPreferenceObserver will be called on the browser process UI thread [3][4].

Retain and dispose the observer registration.
Store the IRegistration returned by AddPreferenceObserver until changeTcs completes. If the wrapper is finalized early, CEF unregisters the observer and Line 141 can wait indefinitely. Dispose the registration on the CEF UI thread after the callback completes.

Sorry for the hassle with the commits, I'm still not particularly familiar with Git. I accidentally performed a git merge and messed up the GitHub branch, so I had to force-reset it back to my original work. I've added the test for the observer in RequestContextTests. |
