Research direction

Reproduce the Preview quickfix flow by previewing a tag, opening it, and using set switchbuf+=usetab,newtab; compare the new window's colors, cursorline, and other settings with the preview. Done means the opened tag window no longer incorrectly inherits the preview settings, including when a new tab is used.

Description

Thank for this amazing plugin! I found strange behavior in "Preview quickfix": if I first preview a tag and then open it, the new window maintains the same colors and settings of preview window (also cursorline).

This only occurs with set switchbuf+=usetab,newtab, indeed using the same tab the color scheme is not changed.

Do I need to define some colors? Thanks for help!
