Description lkishalmi 2003-06-07 12:20:14 UTC 
The breakpoint icon currently is just displayed
without any helpful function, so it just occupies
space.

1. At least it should show whether the breakpoint
is enabled or disabled using the appropiate icons
we already have.

2. Additional function: clicking on it we could
enable / disable the breakpoint. (The enable
column with the ugly combos would be obsolete.)

3. If the debugger steps to a breakpoint the icon
clould be changed to the apropriate icon
indicating that the PC is at that breakpoint.


Point 1 and 2 are nice to have features, point 3
just adds a bit of usability.

Ad 1) Would be nice, if the icon indicates also valid/non valid breakpoint.

Ad 3) Icon changed to same icon as icon on gutter (green arrow on top of red
sqaure) would be very nice and more user friendly than just bold breakpoint name
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2005-05-13 11:08:04 UTC 
Ad 2) The current checkboxes (after property sheet redesign) are O.K. IMHO
Agreed that this would improve usability.

This might be considered when working on issue #32796.
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2006-10-11 15:42:58 UTC 
This is currently resolved in trunk. New breakpoint icons were checked in.
Comment 6 lkishalmi 2006-10-11 19:14:08 UTC 
I've seen it. Fine stuff! Thanks.
