Right now when you're running a program you can still select the 'debugger' item in the menu... you just get an error dialog "you can only toggle the debugger when idle" (with a title "don't debug now").
While I got a kick out of the title and using the word "idle" in the error message, the menu item should just be disabled when it's not relevant

Stackviewer should also be disabled when not applicable, which I believe included while debugger is running (unless it is modified, or including in debugger).

Stack Viewer was done in GH-17163; #157599 does the same for the Debugger item.
