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.
Repro steps: 1. Start a debugging session, hit a breakpoint. 2. Add entries to the Variables tab until you are forced to scroll downward to see the last entry. 3. Hit F7 or F8 to step into or over a line. 4. Notice that the Variables tab jumps to the top scrolling position This is a major usability problem, because it means users cannot add more than 4-5 variables without having to keep on scrolling them into view each time they use the debugger. Expected behavior: Scrollbar should maintain position across stepping operations. If the scrolling position no longer exists, jump to the lowest scroll position.
