Description _ lcincura 2005-06-15 14:46:44 UTC 
NetBeans IDE 4.2 [200506142000] on jdk 1.5.0_04

When watches are evaluated, step action cannot be performed. If some watch is
evaluated for example 3 seconds, after each step user has to wait 3 seconds till
next step can be performed.
Altough no error happens, this is very bad usability bug.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2005-06-20 13:26:54 UTC 
Closing as wontfix. When user add watches, it means that after each step they
want to see the fresh value in watches. If this is a time-consuming operation,
they need to wait till it's computed - we can not do anything about it. The step
is performed in current thread (as well as the watches evaluation), therefore
one has to wait for the other.

Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
