SUMMARY
In version 0.10.1, if I configure latte to group window apps and show window previews on click, then click some app launcher with several opened windows, and move the mouse horizontally to a different app icon, it will show the previews for that other app instead, despite not having clicked it. Would be better if it worked like in earlier versions in which once an app icon is clicked and the previews show up, it sticks to those previews and doesn't switch apps as one moves the mouse.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a latte dock with application launchers, configured to show window previews when clicking the icons of a grouped app (with many windows).
2. Open several windows of some app, and one or more windows of the app that's next to it in the dock.
3. Click the app with many windows.
4. Once the window previews show up above the app icon, move the mouse to the icon of the app next to it.

OBSERVED RESULT
Shows the window previews of the app over which the mouse is currently pointing.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should stick with the window previews of the app that was clicked.
