The problem happens rarely. I cannot reproduce it.

Thanks for your report.
I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

Easy, and it's been a problem with EVERY version of WinSCP: in Explorer view, if I start to type a folder name while the treeview has focus, WinSCP abends. Sometimes I get lucky, so then can click on the listview side and continue on.

WinSCP 5.9

Error message:
Error getting name of current remote directory.

I know how to reproduce the problem or the problem happens frequently enough. I wish to be contacted by the WinSCP team to help resolving the problem.
