Description
Let's say, I enter the code x <- 5 into the terminal, x appears on the global environment / workspace panel:

When I now run following code in the terminal:
> startup::restart()
> x
Error: object 'x' not found
everything as expected so far, but even after manual refresh, the x is still shown in the global environment / workspace panel.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by assigning x in the terminal, running startup::restart(), and checking the global environment/workspace panel after a manual refresh. Trace the panel's refresh and session-restart handling, using the terminal and panel behavior described in the report as the entry points. Done means objects removed by the restart no longer remain visible in the panel after refresh.
