 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed Kitty image previews in fullscreen mode overlapping the sticky editor and footer dock while scrolling.
 - Fixed spaces in `/settings` searches toggling the highlighted setting while typing multi-word queries such as **UI mode** or **Quiet startup**.
 - Fixed custom editors not inheriting the default editor's autocomplete dropdown item limit ([#7333](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7333)).
 - Fixed malformed resource arrays in package manifests crashing session startup ([#7187](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7187)).
