Description
Mirror of comfyanonymous/ComfyUI#8959 — moved to frontend repo since the fix is frontend-side.
## Description
When a sampler is running and showing a preview, switching to another browser tab or application causes the preview to disappear. When returning to the ComfyUI tab, the preview is gone even though the sampler is still running.
## Root Cause
This is a symptom of the broader Tab-Graph-Prompt State Sync issue (#3377). WebSocket messages (including preview data) are not properly associated with the originating workflow tab, causing state to be lost or misapplied when switching contexts.
