Describe the bug
It seems quicklook is not working well with the new windows muti-tab file explorer. When I select file A and press space to preview it in tab A, then repress space to dismiss the preview window, then switch to tab B and select another file there, this time, I press space but quicklook shows the preview of file A no matter how many times I try. Only if I switch to tab A again, unselect file A and switch to tab B, quicklook would preview the file in tab B.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the sequence in Windows File Explorer: preview a file in tab A, dismiss it, switch to tab B, and preview another file. Trace how QuickLook tracks the selected file and active tab; done means pressing Space in tab B consistently previews that tab's selected file rather than the previous file.
