Description Jan Chalupa 2000-02-04 02:24:18 UTC 
When deleting breakpoints in the Debugger Window (Breakpoints), messages such as the following are displayed:

"Are you sure you want to delete Method TestCompile.main?"
or
"Are you sure you want to delete Line TestCompile:38?"

This is confusing. The user is not going to delete the method or line from the source code, he/she is just going to remove the breakpoint.

Perhaps, the messages should be modified like this:


"Are you sure you want to delete breakpoint at Method TestCompile.main?"
and
"Are you sure you want to delete breakpoint at Line TestCompile:38?"

[jglick] More general problem that nodes cannot specify how to interact with the user when they are to be deleted. This is more important for things like deletion from projects--link vs. real file?

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
