What happened? How did it happen?

When clicking a hyperlink in some application (e.g. Slack), the Orion Preview window often opens in the background. This makes it seem like the Preview window didn't open at all if the application's window is covering the Preview window entirely.

Additional notes

As a side note, the size of the Preview window is also quite inconsistent. Sometimes it's a rectangle that's about 1/3 of the size of my display, sometimes it takes the entire height of the display.

pop-up rectangle (common):

entire height (uncommon):

What did you expect to happen?

The Preview windows always opens in the foreground, ans preferably with a consistent size and style.

    Thanks for reporting this! The same has been occurring when previewing links from Signal. Occasionally the preview window may also instantly close — have you encountered this at all? Both issues popped up presumably with the same update, suggesting that they might share the root cause.

      laiz I did observe the pop-up disappearing immediately too yes.

          laiz I opened a few links in Slack with Orion 0.99.129.3-rc installed, and all of them opened in the foreground. Thanks!
