Did you click Open command immediately after context menu opened?
No, I didn't. I don't know under what conditions this occurs, but I don't think the null check is a fundamental solution since it occurred during normal operation.
Still occasionally crashes when opening tabs or panes from the home page.
This problem hasn't been resolved. @0x5bfa put a null check, but I think the action may still not work just not crash. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/15329#issuecomment-2143856697
I tracked down the cause of crashes. If you right-click on one item and then right-click on another item without closing the first context menu, the item set in the opening event will be overwritten to null in the first context menu's closed event.
I don't think we should clear HomePageContext.RightClickedItem when the context menu has been closed because it may make HomePageContext.RightClickedItem null during the action.
I found another issue. When I right-click a sidebar section title (Pinned, Drivers, etc.), Open in commands appear and the home page will open when executing them. The commands should not appear.
