Description
Description
When WebView2 is created using Windows.UI.Composition or DirectComposition, the status bar may not be displayed after a certain period of time.
This bug is reproduced in WebView2APISample.
Version
SDK: 1.0.902-prerelease
Runtime: 91.0.864.59
Framework: Win32
OS: Win10
Repro Steps
- Launch the WebView2APISample.
- Select [Window] - [WebView Creation Mode] - [Visual - DComp] or [Target - DComp].
- Select [Window] - [Create WebView].
- Navigate to https://www.bing.com/.
- Hover the mouse cursor over the link on the page. At this time, the URL of the link will be displayed in the status bar.
- Hover the mouse cursor over the link on the page again after a certain period of time has elapsed.
Expected result: The URL of the link will be displayed in the status bar.
Actual result: The status bar is not displayed.
Additional context
The status bar can be displayed again by displaying the search box or selecting a menu item such as "Save as" in the context menu.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the WebView2APISample using the Visual - DComp or Target - DComp creation modes and follow the listed navigation and hover steps. Compare the expected and actual status-bar behavior after the delay; done would require the link URL to appear again without first opening the search box or a context-menu item.
