Description

The interactions between the Side Panel Widgets and the View Menu seem a little odd compared to other IDEs. Currently clicking a widget name in the view menu will remove it from the side panel instead of focusing the widget.

Research direction
Examine the view menu and side panel source files in the Theia codebase, likely in the packages/core or packages/plugin ext directories. Look at how widget names are handled in the view menu and how they interact with side panel visibility. The issue comments may provide additional context on the expected behavior versus current implementation.
