I only use Defender, but haven't exempted any Sigil folders as it hasn't been an issue until recently (unfortunately I can't recall when exactly I started noticing it but it would have been v19.x). It doesn't happen consistently so I haven't been able to pin down reliable steps to recreate.

If I had to guess (caveat: I am not a smart person) I'd say it was a race condition where the preview is still loading when the file is changed - the new page loads fine in code view while the preview is still working on the previous file. But I can't say for sure as yet.

Here's a screenshot of an instance of it happening. It was willing to stay that was until something occurred to trigger the preview's refresh (i.e., typing, manually refreshing, etc). For the record, my PC is mid-range from 2020 and running off an NVME SSD, and the file from the screenshot is 229kb, so I don't think it's a performance issue.

I'll try adding Sigil's directories to Defender's Exclusions list just to see if it changes anything. It's not a huge problem but I figured I'd bring it up while Preview was under scrutiny.
