@wout Thanks for the report. This appears to be a regression, possibly introduced while preparing for porting to Gtk4. While we look into it, there are work rounds available:

• Use the Icon View
• or use the Menu key to open the context menu.

@wout I have located the cause of this issue and pushed a fix in the linked PR. It should be available in the next release. Thanks again for pointing this out.
