Most applications will stop updating the GUI when in thumbnail mode. This is to save CPU cycles. A typical example would be updating a progress bar. In any case, I don't think the thumbnails are truly 'live', but instead they update periodically. I have tested video playback when in thumbnail mode, and although the video continues playing, the visible frame only changes every now and then.
