The user-defined option selector disappears from the hamburger menu if you switch while you are in Admin pages - and stays missing if you navigate back to the main site - until you hard refresh.

**repro steps** :

- Navigate to dashboard, then click the hamburger menu so can see the theme options.
- Select a different theme
- When this loads, the options to switch again are missing on the menu

This does not happen outside of admin area
