Office file previews do not take up full pane

When I use the preview pane on the right to preview some office files, such as Excel files (.xlsx) Powerpoint files (.pptx) not the whole area of the pane is used. Word files work ok. If I resize pane or window, then the preview will take up the whole area, but as soon as I chose another excel file, preview will again be the wrong size.
Here is the preview handler:
Code: Select all
GUID: {00020827-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
DefaultName: Microsoft Excel previewer
DisplayName: @C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Root\VFS\ProgramFilesCommonX64\Microsoft Shared\Office16\oregres.dll,-403

Oh, fixed by unticking "use 64-bit preview handlers" in other->shell integration. Strange. BTW: why isn't this item in preview?

But sadly, PDF preview fails if I untick the 64-bit preview. So, I'll leave it ticked. I prefer to have the small preview to not being able to preview PDFs.
Though I prefer well working previews to both options

Hi, check out this:
Code: Select all
v22.20.0201 - 2021-09-09 12:00
+ User-defined Preview Handlers: Now you can force the bitness (32 or 64) of
the process that attempts to employ the preview handler. This is useful if
you know that the handler only exists in a particular bitness, so trying the
other bitness would just be a waste of time and energy.
Another advantage is that this setting overrides the global settings "Use
64-bit preview handlers for preview" and "Fall back to preview handlers of
the other bitness" so that you have finer control over the bitness now.
Fictitious examples:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pattern Bitness
------------------------------------------------------------------------
pdf>{CF822AB4-6DB5-4FDA-BC28-E61DF36D2583} depends on global settings
pdf>{CF822AB4-6DB5-4FDA-BC28-E61DF36D2583}>32 32 only
pdf>{CF822AB4-6DB5-4FDA-BC28-E61DF36D2583}>64 64 only
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are currently not using User-defined Preview Handlers for this preview. I will see whether I can add the same option also to the general preview...
PS: While the misaligned preview is being shown, please paste this line into the Address Bar and show what is returned:
Code: Select all
text get("previewhandler"); //while a preview is shown

This is the response I got:
Code: Select all
Previewed Extension: xlsx
Preview Handler: Microsoft Excel previewer [64-bit]
Display Name: @C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Root\VFS\ProgramFilesCommonX64\Microsoft Shared\Office16\oregres.dll,-403
GUID: {00020827-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}
Initialization: IInitializeWithFile
Choosing the bit handler seem to work on the latest beta. I'll play with it some more.

Please try the latest beta and see if the alignment issue of the 64-bit preview is fixed:
