Description

* Break at some point in a debugee.
* Open the text UI with the `gui` command.
* F5 to open "View" menu.
* Select "Backtrace" and press enter.
* No new panes are added, and focus is sent to the Sources pane.

Seems like the real "Backtrace" is the "Threads" pane, which does show the backtrace for each thread.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by breaking in a debugee, running the `gui` command, and selecting View -> Backtrace. Inspect how the View menu maps Backtrace and Threads to panes; done when selecting Backtrace opens the expected Backtrace pane rather than focusing Sources.
