Watches pinned into editor from tooltip during debugging have several UI and behavior issues. Like: 1) pin icon in the editor gutter should not cover other more important annotations 2) it's not possible to select text in the pin watch, like it is in a tooltip 3) move of a pin watch via mouse dragging is not smooth 4) pin watch component has an extra 1-pixel line at the bottom 5) when a value is modified in a text field inside a pin watch, ESC does not cancel the editing 6) pin watch component can get too long when a long value is displayed
Items 1-5 are fixed by changeset: 299275:9ae956fb2622
7) Movability of the pin watch component and selectability of watch text should be indicated by a cursor change.
Item 7 is fixed by changeset: 299313:9165c31a1845 The cursor changes according to a possible action.
6) Fix changeset: 299319:2f976c899f71 assures that the pin watch always fits into the editor pane. - The pin watch can be moved by ordinary mouse drag - Text can be selected when some meta key is pressed (CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, etc.) - Size is automatically adjusted to fit into the editor.
