Odd, works fine on my Win 10 Pro machine.

Edit:

And it's only PDFs that I have noticed, every other type seems fine

It only appears when the resolution (custom text scaling) is > 100%.

I can confirm that. In fact I can get it to happen on my Win10 Pro machine if I change the scaling.

Glad to see this is working. It's really my main reason for looking for a Windows Explorer alternative. I regularly turn on / off the preview and the change in Win11 meant more clicks every time. I reverted to Win10 for a while because of it.

There are no more clicks in Windows Explorer than in XY.
In a detail view you switch on preview (Alt-P) and then you click on any PDF you want or use cursor up/down to preview other PDFs.
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3374)

True when your hands are on the keyboard (forgot about that shortcut). But it's not usually the case when I'm bouncing around in explorer.
