How to remove or hide 'Console' category in Launcher?

This link asking to disable the extension. However, I don’t want to do that way because after I disabled the extension, there is some other issue. Anyone has an idea? Thanks a lot.

What other issue? Please be specific.

If I disable the console extension(jupyter labextension disable @jupyterlab/console-extension:tracker), when I opened a notebook which uses Scala kernel, the kenel status will be shown as ‘Busy’ instead of idle (although there is no cell running at all). If I select a cell and run it, after it finished running, the status will be shown as ‘idle’ correctly.

This should not happen. If you are sure that this is because of disabling that extension (though you command says “enable”), can you open an issue on Issues · jupyterlab/jupyterlab · GitHub with detailed reproduction instructions and version information?

I retried more times and it seems the issue might be related with some other settings (we did some customization on our version of Jupyterlab). Thanks a lot for your help.
