There should never be a preview for the current tab (unless it’s also a
top site). In the tabs list view, the first tab is a special case, it
shows the live webview, not a cached capture. When selecting a different
tab, a capture is taken for the tab that was current (so the opposite of
what you’re describing should be happening).

I found some obvious issues with the handling of previews, and fixed them in the linked branch.
I’m not sure how to reproduce the issue you’re describing though, so I can’t guarantee it’s fixed by my branch (which, regardless, improves the current situation).

Title:
  Tab previews are deleted while still in active list

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  v174 on mx4

  I was watching the contents of the .cache/webbrowser-app/captures
  directory while changing tabs.

  Select a tab from the list (happened to be blank)
  The web page is loaded
  The file containing preview for the previously active tab, top in the list, is deleted from the disk.
  The tab is still shown in the active list but now its blank.

  I cannot reproduce this every time.

  Adding a new tab subsequently crashed the browser
