Research direction

Start by reproducing the preview-pane workflow: open it, switch windows before it loads, and check whether the new window appears in the taskbar while audio is playing. Trace the preview-pane window behavior and its taskbar integration; done means the preview window is identifiable in the taskbar during and after loading.

Description

I managed to accidental open the preview pane and then switch windows before it loaded, so I wasn't aware that a new widow opened. Took me a bit to figure out what was playing audio, since nothing in the taskbar was.
