This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: - create Welcome sample project - do step into - open Local Variables - right-click on "argv", a context menu contains only one item "List Options" and does not contain "Go To Source", this is a BUG - expand "argv" local variable - right on "argv[0]", a context menu now contains two items, that's OK - select "Go To Source" Result: Focus switches to the editor window to the current position (cout<<"Welcome ...\n";). It's unclear how it connected to argv[0] and what's the use of just switching the focus to editor. Also please see above (Why argv and argc do not have such items in their context menus).
*** Issue 103584 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Gordon's comment from IZ 103584: Gdb doesn't have this information. I need to see if code-assistance can provide it.
I would propose to remove this item from the LV node context menu until it becomes clear if it's possible or not to implement a such feature.
In fact it's not a P2, the missed functionality is not crucial and it's implementation needs additional support from code model that obviously will not be provided in 6.1. So I downgrade it to P3 but at the same time I still suggest excluding "Go to Source" item from the context menu in 6.1 and then transforming this defect to enhancement.
item is removed from the menu as suggested, changeset is: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/ce1a55b35bb6 issue is transformed into enhancement
Changing target milestone to future. This isn't going to be done in 6.1.
