Description michal.owsiak 2010-12-19 09:36:45 UTC 
Created attachment 104263 [details]
screen-1

Use-case:

1. Start NetBeans with clear user's settings
2. Open project MemoryView
3. Open Watches (Window->Debugging->Watches)
4. Open Variables (Window->Debugging->Variables)
5. Variables contains Watches and Watches Tab is visible as well (screen-1)
6. When "Show watches ..." inside Variables is deselected and selected again behavior is "correct" (Watches are removed)

It looks like initial state of Variables tab is not applied to tabs view (Watches are not removed even thou Variables -> show watches is set to true).

NOTE! This should be default behavior for Watches/Variables (see: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193591). Watches shouldn't be removed from Tabs when variables view shows watches.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2010-12-22 23:22:18 UTC 
I guess that if we solve enhancement #193591 it will solve this as well.
This behavior (removing Watches window when watches were displayed inside Variables window) was suggested by UI team. The assumption was, that you do not want to see the watches twice - in Variables window and also in Watches window. Therefore Watches are automatically closed. Of course, if you open Watches window explicitly, it stays open and watches are listed in both views.

The default configuration is that watches are displayed inside Variables window and Watches are not opened automatically. But I agree that if the user opens Watches window explicitly, it should stay opened.
