A few suggestions for possible solutions: 1) Add an animation when activating the app (but this has the drawback or making the UI slower) 2) Don't crop the thumbnail, but respect the aspect ratio of the window: in this way the thumbail will be smaller, and the user will be able to predict where the restored controls will be found 3) Add some visual features to make it clear that this is a thumbnail, so that the user will not be tempted to interact with it.

This is not only an aesthetic issue: it becomes a problem, when the user activates a window from the spread and immediately tries to activate a control in the application, just to see that the wrong control gets activated. This is especially easy to trigger when activating the dash and immediately starting another application: due to the cropping of the thumbnail contents, the user expects the restored application's controls to be placed consistently with the thumbnail preview, but ends up launching the wrong application. I'm attaching a video, as it will be easier to understand: I want to start the Flickr Uploader app, but Dotty is started instead.
