System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.4.0-54-generic-x86_64-with-debian-buster-sid 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon VII

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.91.0, branch: master, commit date: 2020-11-25 08:34, hash: 0f45cab862

Short description of error
Switching a window from Image Editor containing "Render Result" to UV editor does not present any of the UV editor UI until the "image" is closed.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open new blend file.
Split 3D viewport into two windows, make one of them an Image Editor.
In the "Browse image to be linked" dropdown, select Render Result.
Back in the 3D viewport, tab into edit mode as you would to edit the UVs of the default cube.
Change the Image Editor window to a UV Editor window

The bug now manifests, the UV Editor GUI does not appear, it remains an Image Editor window until you press the "X" button to the right of "Render Result".

Havent checked code, but I also find this confusing.
@Jeroen-Bakker: Should we just exclude the Render Result from the possibilities in the dropdown, as proposed in #73182 (Exclude 'Render Result' and 'Viewer' image types in the dropdown in certain contexts [Shader Editor, Compositor, UV Editor...]) as well?

@lichtwerk yes think that is the best solution. Don't show options that will never be useful except if that option can driver artistic freedom.

So, will merge into #73182 (Exclude 'Render Result' and 'Viewer' image types in the dropdown in certain contexts [Shader Editor, Compositor, UV Editor...]) then
