Description matusdekanek 2008-11-24 09:33:12 UTC
Hello
when debugging and invoking step into action on some breakpoint, focus changes to output window, but if I want to 
change method in which I want to step, I need to have focus on source code window. 

For example, I have breakpoint on line
foo = bar( foobar(y) );
invoking step into action will by default mark 'bar' method for stepping into. If I want to step into 'foobar' method, 
I will need either to click on foobar label in code or click somewhere on source code (=editor) window to focus on it 
and only then use arrows. 

It would be great if in such case would focus jump to editor window, so I don`t have to switch it manually. 
(note: this behaviour might apply to some other debug actions as well)
Thanks
