Description
## Problem Description
Image preview controls (and potentially other preview controls) have a z-index that causes them to float above all other elements on the canvas. This makes it possible for entire nodes to be lost/hidden beneath the layers of a preview node, significantly impacting usability.

The issue is demonstrated in the screenshots below where nodes are completely obscured by preview layers:
