Why am I getting "event.returnValue is deprecated..." and how can I rectify it? [duplicate]

Question

This question already has answers here:

event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead (7 answers)

Closed 8 years ago.

In my web site, when I F12 from the browser, I see in the console (Chrome Dev Tools) the error/warning, "event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead."

Yet I search my project for "event.returnValue" and it turns up no instances of that string.

Assuming it is some Microsoft or jQuery-written code that is causing this, should I do something about it, and if so, what?

This seems to be happening in the latest version of Chrome. I guess you can not really do much about it but ignore it.
