Create a bunch of a tab groups expecting to behind to hide away some tabs while working on something out, but then you are sadly disappointed by all your millions of tabs showing up in Aero Peak. Furthmore, the order of those tabs seems very arbitrary as they are not even organized by tab group.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Windows 7
2. Create more than one tab group in Firefox Panorama
3. Activate aero peak
Actual Results:  
All tabs in every group are displayed in (seemingly) arbitrary order.

Expected Results:  
Either tab groups, or tabs from current group should be shown.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Windows 7
2. Create more than one tab group in Firefox Panorama
3. Hoover the firefox icon on the taskbar so that the tab icons open up.
4. Hoover over one of the tab icons until you get a peek of it.
5. Now you can hover the rest of the tabs and they will instantly display.

Actual Results:  
Look at the firefox tabs in the firefox window, they are no longer showing the tabs of the group you were currently in, they are showing all tabs you hoovered. It will fix it self once you switch tabs.

Expected Results:  
No tabs for other tabs should remain when you switch back to firefox.

I produced some mock-ups of how I think Aero peek should look here:

Hrm. I do like the idea of having Aero Peak show TabCandy groups, instead of individual tabs. Much more logical usage. (Follows from people using multiple windows for different groups in Firefox 3)

Note though in that proposal there is no such thing as "TabCandy Groups" - only windows, but with the same Panorama interface to make this organizationinto windows easier. Hence, this doesn't "follow on" from people grouping by window in FF3 - it is the exact same behaviour and keeps things simple!
