Description swpalmer 2012-11-26 14:07:16 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201211200002)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_09
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.5-b02

For some bizzare reason when I launch the debugger the view switches to the Variables panel - even though this view is useless until/unless I hit a breakpoint.  All the action is happening in the Output panel - that is where the IDE should automatically switch when I start debugging.
