When I have a bunch of windows open on grouped icons (e.g. browser), when hovering over the icon, the width of the field (when there are a bunch), entirely covers the task bar instead of cutting off where the edge of the task bar is like everything else. I would think the overall pixel width would be reduced by however wide/slim you have set the task bar, but this seem to not be the case. I blacked out all of the open tabs, but that width is a problem because you cannot right click to open a new window/instance (a Quick Launch section would resolve this particular issue).
Also, is there a way for the list of open windows to present as a vertical list like in Win10 instead of a horizontal image for every open instance (which I would either Alt+Tab or Win+Tab to view the visual)?
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more details.

Seems this can happen with the vertical taskbar, as in your picture. We now have this logged for review.

Thanks again and best regards,

Adam, can you also have it auto-switch to a vertical text list of open window names instead of the image or is this a Windows more than Start11 thing? Windows 10 would switch between image to text which made it much easier to to switch between IMO........
Hi - any updates on this? I'd be happy to try out a beta version of a fix. I posted a similar issue a few weeks ago - https://forums.stardock.com/536822/page/1/ - and it's constantly frustrating because it does block my ability to click in the vertical taskbar.
Hello again,
A Beta version for the software has now been released, which addresses the preview windows covering the vertical taskbar. We encourage you to give it a try and let us know what you think.
For instructions how to get it, and for additional details and feedback, please see:

Hey Adam - thanks for the beta!
The fix didn't work for me. Using Chrome or Explorer to create many windows and then hovering over one of their taskbar items will still block a chunk of the taskbar. They are still horizontally positioned in the popup.
Could you post a screenshot?
It should not be overlapping a taskbar at default width.
Attached - please let me know if I can provide any more info or troubleshooting.
I think if you mean the default width of just the icon size, yes, it is offset (as opposed to the release version where it wasn't offset at all), but my main use case of having the taskbar on the left is to be able to have quick access to the windows with their titles visible like this.
