Description _ hair 2004-11-24 11:58:59 UTC

Currently, each time you step, or between each
subsequent breakpoint stop, all the nodes in the
Local Variables collapse.

This is frustrating, and ruins productivity,
exaggerated when the variable in interest is many
nodes deep.

I wouldn't have thought it be hard to remember if
a node was in open or closed stated, and to
restore it. If these nodes are constructed new
each time, then to keep some cache in the
TopComponent of what the previous view (the names,
or some universal identifier, of which nodes were
open) was.

I can reproduce it.

Comment 2 Jan Jancura 2005-04-13 09:28:31 UTC

No chance to fix it in 4.1.

Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2005-06-07 12:01:31 UTC

This works in Watches in dev builds. It should be possible to fix it for Local
Variables as well...
