The window preview/peeker is made so you can peek at minimized windows, and it will fade out if you click on the app's icon because the window is now visible. However, if the window is visible and you hover the mouse over the app's icon the window preview will appear, which is odd if there's not multiple windows, but even weirder is if the user clicks on the app's icon to minimize it, the preview will disappear, which doesn't make any sense because that is meant to allow the user to peek into minimized windows. Perhaps the way it should work is: 1- Single minimized window = show window preview, but fades out if clicked. 2- Single visible window = hide window preview, but fades in if clicked. 3- Multiple visible and/or minimized windows = always show window preview, cannot be faded out if clicked.
Created attachment 177138 [details] "Window peeker" being visible while the window is visible is odd, and the "Window peeker" fading out when minimizing the window is odder.

I don't think this would be considered, sorry. Way too niche and hyper-specific.
