Fixes#121902, #121865, #121905 and some other reports that were closed
as duplicates.
Reverts a change done as part of 7d80fde033.
Reverting this change breaks the yet-to-be-used asset shelf popup a bit,
in that refreshing it won't work propery anymore. Think that's fair
given that 1) the popup isn't in use yet, 2) its refreshing implementation
causes a bunch of high priority bugs, and 3) #122068 is in review with a
better solution to handle refreshing. Namely, it converts the popup to a
popover, which handles refreshing differently, and thus makes the change
being reverted here unnecessary anyway.
