 This is a continuation of the conversation in #39087.

 If something doesn't appear on a page you're previewing, it gets hidden in
 the Customizer panel. For example, if your archive pages have a sidebar,
 but your static pages do not, you will not be able to edit your archive
 sidebar. It will be hidden until you go to an archive page.

 The same goes for contextual theme options. For example, you can't assign
 sections to your homepage in Twenty Seventeen unless you're on your
 homepage.

 This is often very confusing for folks new to WordPress, as evident in the
 previous ticket linked above. I think we should change this behavior, and
 I'm interested in hearing what others think.
