App crashes when clicking during folder scan
Hey,
As a long-time user of WinSCP, I wanted to report a persistent bug that leads to a fatal crash.
If you perform an action (like clicking another folder) while the application is busy loading a large directory in the background, it triggers a fatal error.

If you perform an action (like clicking another folder) while the application is busy loading a large directory in the background, it triggers a fatal error.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open a very large folder (containing 10k, 50k, or 100k+ files).
- Navigate to a different, smaller folder and create a temporary test file.
- Move this test file into the large folder.
- While the cursor shows the waiting symbol (indicating the app is reloading the large directory after the file transfer), click on any other folder.
- The app is waiting for a response. After about 3 minutes of unresponsiveness, the program times out, reconnecting and crashes with the following error
- The app can no longer be used reliably after that and may crash at any time.
