Right Clicking a result crashes the app

Post by Dsotm »

This started on my previous version 1.41 and has persisted into Version 1.5.0.1415b (x64).

About 7/10 times if I right Click on a search result the app hangs, spinning wheel etc until I hard close it via Task Manager.

Attached is the crash dump

Many thanks
Brian
