[Impact]
The dash preview graphic does not always appear the first time. The 'busy' spinner will animate briefly then stop but not be replaced. Switching right or left to another preview will cause it to immediately appear as it slides away.
[Test Case]
This was discovered while executing the unity manual tests under:
unity/manual-tests/Preview.txt.
Preview Open Animation
note: Should be automated.
------------
This tests the dash preview open animation
Setup:
#. Open dash super
#. Open a lens which supports previeing (eg Application, Music, File)
#. Enter arbitrary search string and ensure a result is available.
Actions:
#. Open preview for result.
Expected Result:
A preview will open by animating a swipe from left to right using an
ease in-out curve progression.

This sounds like it might be a draw bug.
If the preview appears to slide away when you click the navigator buttons, then the preview has been opened, but is not being displayed.
