Hovering a link in the webview window showed nothing — no little status strip in the bottom-left telling you where the link goes. That preview is a WebView2 feature and it’s on by default, so I expected it to just work. It turns out wry hardcodes IsStatusBarEnabled to false while building the webview, and its builder gives you no way to say otherwise.

The way back is to reach through to the controller’s CoreWebView2 settings after the build and flip it on. It’s best-effort — a missing hover preview isn’t worth failing window creation over, so a failure there is swallowed. The macOS window doesn’t get the same treatment: WKWebView has no status bar and no setting for one, so matching it would mean building an in-page overlay to track hover targets myself. Noted in the source and left alone.
