Hi Bernard, There's no list, no. The widget is a reasonably thin wrapper around either CEF or (on Mac, iOS and Android) the system provided WebView.
Without actually seeing cases to investigate which do not work as expected it is hard to advise what the problem might be (although 'cross origin requests' is one possibility). Certainly as we discover such issues documenting them in the dictionary would be useful. As mentioned before if you could file a bug report so we can look into it, that would be most helpful.
