Description
Feature Request
VS Code Version: -x64-1.98.0

As shown in the image, two instances of the "Run or Debug" button appear each time they are clicked, with no option to close them. The duplicate buttons only disappear when switching windows, but reappear upon clicking again.

Research direction
Reproduce the duplicate Run or Debug buttons in VS Code 1.98.0 on Windows 11, using the C/C++ extension. Start at the extension's handling of the Run or Debug button and trace why repeated clicks create additional instances. Done means one button remains available and it does not reappear after switching windows.
