UX discrepancy in latest Windows 11 22H2 Moment 2 (build 1343) with Tool Tip Text

Actual behavior:

While it should look like:

The misbehaving application uses

<tb:TaskbarIcon ToolTipText="{x:Static local:Localization.AssemblyProduct}"

as static tool tip text, without any other properties set.

Going to investigate here and provide further comment.

So basically, the "current" general availability release works as expected - any tool tip text looks the same.

The issue came up with users on the current Windows 11 22H2 Release Preview channel (22621 build 1343) mentioning that all other applications support Microsofts "refreshed" tray area, while this application fails back to pre Windows 11 era tool tips for whatever reason.

The official Windows 7 notification icon sample works just fine.

What a stupid solution that is.

Works now, though 🤷‍♂️
