After performing the above step It is reproducible on my machine as
well. I have applied and tested your patch, below is my observation
- When I click on "Tables" and then "foo" pgAdmin didn't crash, but
"foo" node was not selected for the first time, I have to click on "foo"
node again to select that.
- I have perform one more test case where I have clicked on "Tables" and
then right click on "foo" node instead of left click, pgAdmin crashes with
a segmentation fault. I have tried to figure out the problem by debugging
the code, but every time when I run the pgAdmin using gdb it didn't crash,
so it's being difficult to identify the cause of the crash.
