Research direction
The issue describes a bug where clicking the preview toolbar item causes focus to be lost from the editor. To resolve, examine the focus management in the preview toggle logic, possibly in the `preview` command handler or the tab bar widget. Check if the preview panel is stealing focus when revealed. The issue has two comments but no maintainer response; review those for additional context.
