htmlwidgets plot preview is showing entire UI

Windows 11

Steps to reproduce the issue:

From #2843 (comment)

1. Create html widget plots

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)

df <- data.frame(x = 1:10, y = rnorm(10))
p1 <- ggplot(data = df, mapping = aes(x=x,y=y)) + geom_point() +
theme_bw()
p2 <- ggplotly(p1)
p2

library(dygraphs)
dygraph(nhtemp, main = "New Haven Temperatures") %>% 
  dyRangeSelector(dateWindow = c("1920-01-01", "1960-01-01"))

3. Click through the plots in the plots pane
4. Note the preview image

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the previews to be just the plots, not the entire UI

Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?

No

I again wonder, like I did in #2559 (comment), if HTML content like this would be better in the Viewer (for more appropriate UI affordances and actions).

I can't reproduce this. :-/

I just tried with latest release build 2024.05.0-1240 and I still see the issue. I guess I have a special machine ..

I also cannot reproduce this, either local Windows dev build or using latest Win release:

I did a usability testing session today and we saw something like this!

What is shown in the thumbnail is not the entire UI but instead a chunk of it, overlapping with a Jupyter notebook and part of the Plots pane. It persisted through clicking back and forth through the filmstrip. So weird!

I can no longer reproduce with dygraphs, but can quite reliably using any DiagrammeR graph.
