Previews aren't shown/updated sometimes

Post by John_C »

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable preview pane
2. Create a text file with some text
3. Press Delete key. You will see the standard "Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin?" dialog. The preview will be disabled, and it will not be shown even if you choose to keep the file. (To see its preview you will need to select another file and then re-select this one again.)

The same if you select some file and copy it. The copy will be automatically selected, but without preview.

Also, if you have for example 10 text files in directory, quite small (100-400 characters) and move across them with up/down keys, the preview is sometimes is not updated. It is more bad thing, because it leads to a confusion. Edit: As I discovered, this issue is not only about previews. The information in status bar is not updated as well.

Win7, XY 20.20

I see the same. Not sure if that's by design?

Can't confirm, even with Auto-Refresh off. Do you see the same in a fresh instance of the latest stable (20.20.0100)?
