Description _ mihmax 2002-05-15 10:36:06 UTC 
Two RFEs (but closely conncted):

1. The method breakpoints are not visible in the 
source code editor.
   I propose it should reside on the first line 
of the method (not body, but description).

2. The method breakpoint should be added using 
the source editor. I propose that when a user 
sets a breakpoint on the first line of method, 
this would become not a line breakpoint, but a 
method one.

I discussed in with Marian Petras on nbdev, see

Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
Comment 3 _ mihmax 2002-08-31 00:18:10 UTC 
Target milestone: TBD still, though after evaluating, it should be set
to the release when planning to implement or 'future', read nbdev, if
you didn't,

Priority changed to P4 - you don't think it's useful - it's handy,
especially after total redesign of Debugger window, where I just
cannot right-click and add a breakpoint, but rather should go through
Debug->Breakpoints->Add

Maybe you think breakpoints are rarely used?

Is nbui more appropriate for discussing that?

thank you for info. I didnt know that

I think that it is usefull. I have about 110 RFEs. So I decided to
that P1-3 will be reserved for planning of the next release (4.0). All
other RFEs will be P4-5. I do not have time to implement this feature
for the next release, sorry.

That is a bug and I will fix it.

No problem, I just didn't know that, and you simply 
changed P3 to P4 witout any explanation, so I simply 
wordered, why?! ;)))

These enhancements seem to have been implemented long time ago.
