Confirmed. Experiencing the same issues.

This is also happening in the Preview extension. The only thing I can think is that VSCode doesn't have a cursor when you right click and so it doesn't know what to send (and the default is get-help).

Perhaps the default should be to return a message that we didn't run it because there was no command sent?

It would seem that when we added the Command Explorer and added an optional parameter to the vscode command to show help that right click passes an object in. This object doesn't have a name which is what we use from Command Explorer. I've got a fix and will create a PR in the morning to get this fixed.
