Edge taskbar preview only showing first tab.

My problem is that the Edge thumbnail preview that displays when hovering over the icon on the taskbar only shows the active tab in each window, instead of all tabs.  This started after I had an issue were Edge opened off screen (running multiple displays).  I had to use shift + right click Move to get it back.  That's when it stopped showing all the tabs in the preview.  It still shows the different windows I have open, but only the active tab on each window.  Internet Explorer still shows all the open tabs in the taskbar preview.  The taskbar preview works for all other programs I tried so the problem seems to be isolated to Edge.  I was able to narrow it down to about a 15 minute window of when the change occurred so if there are any event logs that might shed light on what happened.  
Hi ShorterBuss

My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

This is actually how Edge has always behaved, it doesn't show the gallery like Internet Explorer when you have multiple tabs open. You would need to have multiple Edge windows open to do that.

I would also recommend you submit a feature request; send me the short link so I can vote on it and bring it to the attention of the Windows engineers.
