Description Petr Cyhelsky 2008-09-03 17:52:38 UTC

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200809021401)
Java: 1.6.0_10-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b14
System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1250; cs_CZ (nb)

Observed: The popup menu item Create fixed watch on just evaluated item in expression evaluator (which is like
mini-watch view) does nothing.

Expected: It should either really create fixed watch or the option shouldn't even be there(or at least it should be
disabled).

Steps to reproduce: have some java application -> place some breakpoint -> debug the project -> invoke Debug|Evaluate
expression -> write some valid object into the textfield(for example this) -> press evaluate button -> invoke popup menu
on the newly created element (this) in pane under the textfield -> invoke "create fixed watch" -> nothing happens

Reproduced.

Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2008-09-14 11:27:31 UTC

This does not work for the same reason why "Go to Source" does not work.
