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

  1. Launch the WebView2APISample.
  2. Select [Window] - [WebView Creation Mode] - [Visual - DComp] or [Target - DComp].
  3. Select [Window] - [Create WebView].
  4. Navigate to https://www.bing.com/.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
