Right-clicking the mouse in this area for a new empty chat immediately crashes and exits the macOS Desktop application.

Note that for conversations that have a name/title this area normally contains that name as part of a drop-list menu control.

What is the expected behavior?

right clicking would possibly show a context menu or do nothing at all
