Fix empty file options region in regular editor

This would happen when opening a file browser as regular editor, opening
a temporary file browser from there (e.g. Ctrl+O) and cancelling the
operation.
In some cases this would cause most of the editor to be filled with an
empty operator options region:
* Go to Shading workspace
* File -> Append
* Cancel
