Public bug reported:
$ baobab --version
baobab 3.8.2
Right-clicking a folder in the list on the left presents options such as
"open folder" and "move to the rubbish bin."
Assume Folder A is currently selected (i.e. previously left-clicked).
If Folder B is right-clicked, the actions in that menu will apply to
Folder A, not Folder B.
In my case, this resulted in the attempted deletion of my home directory
rather than one of its descendants.
Making the right-click menu operate on the right-clicked item
unconditionally would probably be more intuitive behaviour.
