Description

Description

The dropdown menu for running files does not work as expected for terminals.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/73b8df87-5ec4-4170-a572-fbf534b21e38

Reproduce

  1. Open Jupyter Notebook
  2. Go to Running tab
  3. Click on Terminal tab

Expected behavior

When terminal drop down is closed, file beneath is expected to close under terminal tab. Instead, terminal tab drops to the bottom of the screen.

Context

Jupyter Notebook Version: 7.5.0rc1

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior from the Running tab's Terminal tab in Jupyter Notebook 7.5.0rc1, using the linked video as a visual reference. Trace the frontend entry point for that dropdown and verify that closing it leaves the file beneath the terminal in place rather than moving the terminal tab to the bottom of the screen.
