DockDoor

What happens: Some DockDoor window previews appear as a thin strip instead of a full thumbnail, especially for a window on another Stage or an inactive TabStack tab.

Why: BetterStage moves windows it is hiding just beyond the display edge. DockDoor can capture the narrow part still visible there. We reproduced this with DockDoor Free; a DockDoor Pro report shows the same symptom, but its capture path has not been verified locally. Excluding DockDoor from BetterStage does not change the position of the windows DockDoor previews.

Workaround

In DockDoor, open Advanced and turn on Enable Live Preview (Video). This switches DockDoor from static thumbnails to live window capture. Live previews may use more system resources.
