Description
It's incorrectly using different flame/database icon states for each workspace folder instead of sharing the same one, i.e. the icons incorrectly disappear after switching to a file in a different workspace.
It's been like this for a long time, but no one has complained yet.

Trace where the icon state is kept and compare behavior across folders; done means the icons remain correct after switching files between workspace folders.
