How To Add Custom Tab To ListView Only

Question

I have the following custom action elements.xml snippet that is supposed to only display my custom tab and custom action button on the ListView.  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction
Id="MYCUSTOMSOLUTIONRibbonTab"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon.ListView"
RegistrationType="ContentType"
RegistrationId="0x010014D754C688D12A4FB4C811B4B4F67A5C"
Sequence="0"
Rights="ViewListItems">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition
Location="Ribbon.List.Share.Controls._children">
<Tab
Id="Ribbon.MYCUSTOMSOLUTION"
But when I click on the list item and it displays the modal dialog for the list item I see that the tab is also visible on the DisplayForm for the item.
How can I display the custom tab on the list view only?

Hi,
The reason of this issue could related to the some settings of the custom action element.
The workaround above also work for SharePoint 2010.
Here is a detailed code demo works fine in my environment:
