Description
What happened?
The WPF browser control shows tooltips outside of the application window.
Importance
Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.
Runtime Channel
Stable release (WebView2 Runtime)
Runtime Version
134.0.3124.72
SDK Version
1.0.3124.44
Framework
WPF
Operating System
Windows 11
OS Version
22631.5039
Repro steps
- Create a new .NET Framework C# desktop application.
- Add a nuget reference to WebView2.
- Change MainWindow.xaml to the following:
<Window x:Class="BrowserTooltipBug.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:BrowserTooltipBug"
xmlns:wv2="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf;assembly=Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf"
Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="600">
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer>
<wv2:WebView2CompositionControl Height="1000" Width="500" Name="webView" Source="https://www.bing.com" />
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
</Window>
- Run the application and move the mouse pointer over various images on the page and a tooltip will show down below the application window as seen in the screenshot.
The browser is clearly showing the tip at the height assigned to the control but it should be clipped away or shown at the edge of the rendered content.
