      Alt+x triggers the right sidebar instead of the left one if the right side bar has been shown and its view switched to Projects view ever.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. launch QtCreator
      2. open a project (I tested it on a CMake project)
      3. show the right side bar by clicking on a button or by Alt+Shift+0
      4. switch the view of the right sidebar to Projects (if it was so already then switch to other view, and the switch back to Projects)
      5. hide the right sidebar by clicking on a button or by Alt+Shift+0
      6. show the left sidebar by clicking on a button or by Alt+0
      7. switch the view of the left sidebar to e.g. Open Documents
      8. press Alt+x

      Behavior:

      The right sidebar shows with the view of Projects.

      Expected behavior:

      The view of the left sidebar switched to Projects.

      Additional info:

      1. The behavior is persistent across relaunches
      2. An animation showing the issue below, and how it can be workarounded

      The animation starts with my recent project opened. I press Alt+x. One sees that the right sidebar opens. I close it, and switch to Projects in the left sidebar. Then I press Alt+o to switch its view back to Open Documents. Then I press Alt+x and the left sidebar switches to Projects. That's the workaround to avoid opening the right sidebar. Alas it needs to be done after every launch of QtCreator.
