Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Command Palette using the PowerToys 0.98 dev build and right-clicking the empty space between dock item buttons. Trace the context-menu handling for that empty band area; done means a context menu for the band appears, allowing actions such as unpinning Performance Monitor.
