Description

Markdown Preview fails to appear as an option when right-clicking a markdown file on macOS.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install a fresh copy of Atom on macOS (I have 10.14.6)
2. Create a test markdown file test.md (see below)
3. Launch atom using atom .
4. Open the test file by clicking it
5. 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.

Additional Information

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.
