Description

Unlike the buttons in the controls widget, which are dynamically enabled/disabled based on whether the adapter supports, the action in the debugger menu is always enabled as long as debugging is not already active, which can be confusing

Research direction

Compare the debugger menu's Launch action with the controls widget's dynamically enabled actions, focusing on how adapter support is checked. Done means the menu action is unavailable when the adapter does not support launching, while remaining available when debugging is inactive and launch is supported.
