Examples from Custom Libraries Renamed to Active Board #2249

Describe the problem

When going to File, Examples, I would expect to see examples broken into a few categories: Built-in examples; Examples from Custom Libraries; and Examples for XXXX where XXXX is the active board selected. I have a fresh install of Arduino IDE 2.2.1 on Windows 11 and all the examples that should be under "Examples from Custom Libraries" and mis-categorized as "Examples for XXXX". If there are board-specific libraries ("Examples for XXXX"), they get merged with the Custom Libraries which can be confusing as it can make it the number of libraries in that category very large and hard to distinguish between the two types of examples.

Here is an example of what I'm seeing:

And this is an example of what I'd expect:

Interestingly, I do not see this behavior on a different Windows 11 machine also running Arduino IDE 2.2.1 but, in the setup that works, it was a well-used Arduino IDE install that was upgraded from 2.1.1 (and 2.0.X before that, etc). I'm seeing the issue on a fresh install of Windows 11 and a Arduino IDE 2.2.1 was the first / only Arduino IE install.

To reproduce

Look at the list of examples (File, Examples) and see if there are are "Examples from Custom Libraries".

Expected behavior

See above, but I would expect Examples for board and examples from custom libraries to not get merged into one group.
