Description
Many actions disappear when some views are selected as a pane.
Actions that disappear:
- "Restart"
- "Update Channel..."
- and probably many others
Views they disappear in:
- types
- strings
- typelib explorer (if enabled)
Presumably it's just the sidebar widgets that can also be views.
Note a new bug, has existed since 4.0 and the sidebar refactor (but not earlier).

Research direction
Reproduce the missing actions by focusing the Types, Strings, and enabled Typelib Explorer views as panes, then compare their action menus with the corresponding sidebar widgets. Trace the shared handling for these views and verify that Restart, Update Channel..., and other applicable actions remain available in both contexts.
