Hover Box shows incorrect folder size. It only calculates the files on the first sublevel.
If the limitation is intentional due to performance reasons, I think it's better not to show size at all than show misinformation.
------------------------------
Here is an alternative solution

Hover Box Folder Size: While the Hover Box is showing a folder contents preview you can cycle the size calculation depth (One Sublevel, Full Calculation, No Sizes) by pressing the "X" key.

Though I like the switch idea, deep calculation takes too long for the Hover Box. 1st level is the only thing that an be done.

But you are right, the info is potentially misleading. I will prefix "Files: " to the bytes.
