After hovering different image, Image preview panel (F11) continues to show the old preview until the new one is generated. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Kate 2. select File -> Open (Ctrl+O) 3. show Image Preview panel (F11) 4. navigate to a directory containing many images 5. hover one image, wait until you see it's preview 6. hover another image OBSERVED RESULT Old preview from the previously hovered image is still being displayed until the preview for the newly hovered file is generated. It is misleading for the user who doesn't know if the preview is that of a newly hovered file, or previously hovered file (because the new one is still being generated). EXPECTED RESULT When mouse leaves an item in the Open dialog's files view, the preview should be cleared, ideally replaced with KDE's busy indicator (rotating gear). Image preview should also be cleared when mouse leaves the files view widget. In the above situation, if there is a file *selected* and not just hovered, then the preview could display that selected image after the mouse leaves the file list area.
