WebView Not Displayed in StackPanel

Bug Reports
1

I’ve found that I can’t display a WebView inside of a StackPanel. Is this a bug, or maybe I am misunderstanding how to use it…

The code below will not display anything. If you remove the StackPanel then the html shows up.

Update: A plain Panel seems to work. DockPanel works, but if I then try to use the Dock="Bottom" attribute to place the HTML window below some other UX, the HTML stops showing up again.

<App >
	<StackPanel>
		<NativeViewHost>
			<WebView>
				<HTML>
					<![CDATA[
						<html>
							<head><title>This is some html</title></head>
							<h1>This is a Test</h1>
						</html>
					]]>
				</HTML>
			</WebView>
		</NativeViewHost>

	</StackPanel>
</App>

The children of a StackPanel by default try to take up as little space as possible in a given direction. So if you don’t specify an explicit Height, it is effectively zero. Same applies when you’re docking or aligning visuals in other types of parent containers.
