Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the hidden “Run and Debug” launch selector behavior in the Debugger for Java extension, then trace the command or context-menu path involved; done means users can show the selector again after hiding it.

Description

ai-triaged question

In the Debugger for Java extension, I selected an option to hide the "Run and Debug" launch selector dropdown after right-clicking on the "Run and Debug" title bar. However, there is no option to show it again. Is there a way to be able to show the dropdown again?
