What should be the correct behavior? Do nothing on right-click? Or rather collapse/expand the category?

I think the context menu in the sidebar should be the same as when you right click the actual folder.

As for the categories, I think them not doing anything/expand or collapse on right click would be fine. Leaning on not doing anything though.

Harvey, this bug is about the categories. I think the modification of the behavior of the items inside the categories belong in another bug report.

What about adding context menu items for expanding/collapsing the category and one for adding items? It can be kind of annoying to have to open another window or tab just to navigate to a folder so you can add it to the sidebar. On another note, it would be really useful to be able to add/remove custom categories to/from the sidebar, and hide/show the default ones.

Hey guys, the bug isn't triggered just on secondary-clicking a category, but also on a blank space! Please confirm this happens to you too.

I wrote a simple fix (not poping a menu on right clicking these kind of things).
