[dminhhoang26]

yes, im in the same issue

[gjsjohnmurray]

Have you reported it to the extension author yet?

[barneyzhao]

Same issue here.

It's reported to the extension author, but looks like they're not maintaining the project anymore.

According to @ammarsdc, the extension context menu works in version 1.96.4

[cdpark0530]

Same, thank you for the report

@deepak1556 looks like the minor Electron update caused this.

Install https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mhutchie.git-graph and click on the status bar entry.

Before:

After:

It seems to me that "before" a custom menu from the webview opened and now a native menu. You can see the visual difference.

[deepak1556]

Issue seems to be from contextmenu event being fired twice on an element that messes up the state managed by this extension. It got regressed with electron/electron#44954 due to missing return after the first dispatch.

Edit: It has been addressed in electron/electron#44978 which is available with 34.x.y

[hoangnq3004]

There is a temporary solution is right click on the left margin of the git-graph window, the context menu will appear

[deepak1556]

Fix backported in https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DevDiv/_git/electron-build/commit/5ab0ea02f205badc9322c907bba193b9b7ae4751?refName=refs/heads/robo/hotfix/release_32_x_y

[reidsneo]

No new vscode push update?
this is really annoying bug

[git-hub-tig]

Solved with upgraded extension Git Graph 3

[mitjakukovec]

Solved with upgraded extension Git Graph 3

It's probably nothing serious, but I get this when trying to install

[captain-corgi]

Thanks for your feedback, publisher verification setting is undergoing.

[PierreFaibrik]

IMHO, I would be a bit careful installing a non-verified extension that has only approx 100 downloads, with a logo that looks pretty much GitGraph's one and that can access my code and all my files on my machine

[deepak1556]

The issue has been addressed in today's insider https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/ and will also be backported to the candidate release 1.97.2 later this week. I will lock this issue to avoid off-topic discussions
