It's been a real long time (well over a decade) but I remember dealing with this issue. I think I needed to change the WindowStyle of the Preview to "as top level" which had the side-effect of making it modeless instead of modal, and being modeless wouldn't stop the main event loop, allowing timer events to be handled still. I can dig around in my subversion repository and try to find it if you want. Of course, making the preview window modeless instead of modal may have other implications in your app. I may be conflating issues here or also my memory could just be wrong...
