Problem / Steps to reproduce

Consider the below command:

echo "line1\nline2" | fzf --preview 'echo $FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS' --preview-window 'right,60%,<80(down:45%)' --preview-window 'nohidden'

Run the command in any terminal width and use a keybind to hide the preview:

• If the preview was down extend the terminal width until preview is shown on the right
• If the preview was right decrease the terminal width until preview is shown at the bottom

It's very easy to do if you have a tmux split into two panes and then use <tmux-prefix>-z to "zoom" the pane which extends it to full terminal width.

It seems that the hidden state is saved per layout (horizontal/veritcal), when extending the terminal width the preview will lose its hidden state and will be un-hidden, when decreasing the terminal width again the preview will be hidden again.
