Workspace panel actions are not working

Describe the bug

I opened my usual self-hosting workspace this morning and ended up with an empty workspace. I saw no source in the explorer and I could not open any terminals in containers. After realizing I had no workspace roots open, I opened one by hand and my projects appeared. I could now open terminals in user containers, but not in any containers inside the “plugins” folder in the “my workspace” sidebar.

@RomanNikitenko could you please check it with the upstream commit before https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/9223

so it doesn’t work with quay.io/eclipse/che-theia:c881e91 aka https://github.com/eclipse-che/che-theia/commit/c881e914b4944841a20f0d929664f382cffe4fbe but works with quay.io/eclipse/che-theia:1caeb61 aka https://github.com/eclipse-che/che-theia/commit/1caeb61a17674360bdde1575000e4f0469d729c0

so I suspect regression is coming from upstream theia change
