I spoke to the design team today, and to avoid problems with shield overlapping and dynamically changing preview window sizes, I've updated the Quick View layout (link below).
One difference is moving the top bar higher above to "cover" the top bar. We can still showcase a breadcrumb so that users know where they are within Quick View. This bar remains the same width as the Files app window.
The "Close" icon is removed, as Quick View will be toggled via keyboard shortcut. This will prevent confusion of two "Close" buttons.
Info panel will not overlay the image/video/audio file, which caused odd "chunks" of color swatches (I can upload an example if needed). This benefits users who may shrink the Files app - the info panel size will remain static while the image/video/audio panel is responsive.
