Flex config, vertical mode not showing preview

[benfrain]

Trying out flex layout but the vertical mode does not show a preview - horizontal shows preview as expected.

I call telescope like this:

map("n", "<leader>p", '<cmd>lua require("telescope.builtin").find_files()<cr>')

And the relevant portion of the setup looks like this (tried a few variations):

require("telescope").setup({
  defaults = {
    winblend = 20,
    sorting_strategy = "descending",
    layout_strategy = "flex",
    layout_config = {
      flex = {
        flip_columns = 80,
      },
      vertical = {
        width = 0.8,
        height = 0.8,
        preview_cutoff = 40,
        prompt_position = "bottom",
      },
      horizontal = {
        width = 0.8,
        height = 0.8,
      },
    },
...

Am I doing something wrong or is this possibly a bug?

Further experimentation revealed that if I went narrow enough the preview appeared.

Seems that if I remove the width and height for the vertical settings if stays there the whole time.

Since your flip_columns (80) is less than the default preview_cutoff for horizontal (120), there is a range of window sizes where the horizontal strategy will disable the preview (and thus look similar to the vertical one). You can avoid this issue by changing your preview_cutoff for horizontal to a smaller value.
