In the "Debug (full)" toolbar, the "continue" button is placed right next to the "start" button. This has two problems: 1) The start and continue icons look almost identical, and are therefore easy to mis-identify 2) The continue button seems unnaturally far away from the "pause" button (since the two are closely related, it would seem they should be close together). I'd like to suggest that the Start button be moved over to be alongside the Pause button so as to solve both of the problems just mentioned.

> I'd like to suggest that the Start button be moved over to be > alongside the Pause button I hope you meant the "Continue" button. The Start button doesn't really belong in this toolbar. The Pause button is over by the "action" buttons (step into, step over, pause) - and that's where "Continue" logically belongs - you'll continue running, then pause, then continue running, then pause - "Start"'s only functionality in this toolbar is starting a NEW session (or killing and restarting the current program) and that's a more dramatic action than continue. So I think you want the "Continue" button moved away from the Start button, and in particular, put it on the left of the Pause button.
Tor is very right! Continue should move, not Start! (my fingers were clearly typing without talking to my brain when I wrote that)
component change: ui -> debugger
ui freexe so we can not fix it for nb3.3. we will fix it to NB3.4. but for nb3.3 its "as designed"
we must wait on UI spec. fix will be simple => M4
fixed in main trunk
verified
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
