Description viulian 2009-09-27 19:55:36 UTC
I wonder if 'Step Over' method could just refresh the "Variables" view instead of redrawing the whole thing.

I debug an J2ME application, and everytime I 'Step Over' a line of code, the "Variables" window is cleared and a message
"Please wait" appears, and after 1-2-3 seconds, the window is redrew again with all the variables in the current
context. This seems very UI intensive, as I can almost see all the variables (10 in context in my case) being put line
by line again in the list.

This flickering not only that make it harder to monitor variables, but if you're interested in the ones at the bottom of
the list (let's say there are 3 at the bottom, and you have to scroll down to see them), the next time the whole list of
them is redisplayed, the cursor doesn't remain where it initially was - you have to scroll down again...
