Description michal.owsiak 2010-12-19 09:04:31 UTC

Use-case:

1. Enable watches tab
2. Enable variables tab
3. Add some watches (both watches and variables tabs are visible)

4. Press "Show watch inside variables view"
5. Watches are removed from the editor

This behavior is not quite intuitive. It would be better to treat Watches and Variables as different View of the same data and let user decide witch Tab should be visible. User can always remove Watch view by himself.

Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2010-12-27 12:36:45 UTC 
I do not think this is an enhancement. It's a correction of the behavior in fact.
It's fixed in changeset:   185471:89b310056a0b, Watches window is not removed automatically.
