Bingo! Sammaysarkar is totally correct. I am an idiot.
I was close; it wasn't a problem in my system, it was me.
Apologies!

No, it does not block the button (functionality). I am not totally sure what locking the clipboard means.
In fact, the hovering tells me there is an image in the clipboard, and the filename (in my test, a jpg). Confusing.

I was, and it did. But your question drove me to think about other programs interfering. For many years I have used Ditto (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ditto-cp/), and when I closed it, then it all worked as you promised it would. Too bad. Its the first time XY gets tangled up like this... I lik...

I can't see images when trying to, while hovering over the clipboard on the toolbar, or through ctrl-hover on the different toolbar buttons. I am guessing it must be a setting on my system. Any hints on where to look? (running 19.80.0128)

Thank you! I still would rather prefer changing the background on that single button, this does work, and takes care of my problem.
I appreciate it. This community never disappoints.

(I am running 19000207)
I noticed today (but not sure when/if started) that I used to be able to tell at a glance
when the Toolbar Active folder view icon was on or off (its status). Today I can't tell. Is it my aging eyes or the difference is so subtle that is hard to see?

Sorry for the delay. I set aside some time to identify files that would trigger the problem and could be shared.
I am now running 18.90.0110 and can not make the problem ocurr. Something changed. For the better.
Or my sanity. I'll keep an eye out, but it appears resolved. (?!).
Thank you.

Correct.

I just tried on a fresh instance. Yes it does exhibit the same behavior...

sorry you can't reproduce it. Something about my setup?
Windows 10 Pro (1709).
Usually by arrow keys (up and down), but I have tried both ways. No difference.

No. I believe I give them sufficient time to load. On tests, minutes. Sometimes these include long documents (65-90 pages), but mostly the pdfs contain 1-3 pages total.
Nope. No problems with Preview Pane or the Preview Tab (whose existence I was unaware of). It works perfectly, as expected.

A little more information after my last note. I noticed: * when I proceed from pdf to pdf on the list with floating preview on, data flashes in the windows for a fraction of a second before going blank (!). * also, if I move on to the next pdf in the list (without giving focus to the preview window)...

I am not sure I am following what you are saying correctly.
But if I move from a pdf element on the list to the next, and I see a blank screen, I can wait for minutes with a blank/white screen until I give it focus. Then it becomes instantly visible.

Yes, of course. Not without saying first that I love the software, that is almost perfect (real praise if you knew me), and it, time after time, solves problems for me in inimitable ways I would not have thought of them myself. Thank you for your hard work! After writing here, I tried to focus my at...

Any way I can address the issue I am having with the Floating Preview window? When I turn it on (F11) and i move from file to file, With some files (not all, which drives me nuts!) the floating window remains blank until i give it focus again (by either clicking on it, or a double tap of the F11 key...
