Description
Markdown Preview fails to appear as an option when right-clicking a markdown file on macOS.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install a fresh copy of Atom on macOS (I have 10.14.6)
- Create a test markdown file test.md (see below)
- Launch atom using
atom .
- Open the test file by clicking it
- Right-click the test file
test.md contents:
# Markdown Test
Short sample
Expected behavior:
The "Markdown Preview" menu option should appear at the top, allowing you to open the markdown preview
Actual behavior:
No "Markdown Preview" option is listed
Reproduces how often:
Some files, especially small files, almost never show the right-click menu option. Larger markdown files always or almost always show the menu option.

The markdown-preview-enhanced package does not exhibit the same behavior. By default, it opens a markdown preview window that works with all .md files.
