Description Alexander Zgursky 2006-10-09 19:14:23 UTC
abbr. PI = Process Instance
This enhancement request is created to track the common usability problem found
in issue 85847 and issue 82301.
In short, the problem is that when user is debugging several PIs simultaneously
and a number of them are suspended (including current PI), and user hits
"Continue" - the current PI will get to the "Running" state (unless it completes
or reaches another breakpoint) but still will be current. For now Debugger
doesn't provide any functionality for Running PIs, so, user would have to go to
the Process Instances View and select another suspended PI as the current PI to
continue with the debugging.
While the problem as it's described above might seem to be not a big deal, there
are a number of use-cases in which it may be really confusing to users (see
issue 82301 as an example).

Changed target milestone from Sierra to 6.1 in order to display correct info on
NB 6.1 dashboard
Comment 4 Kirill Sorokin 2008-02-09 01:47:54 UTC
I've added an animated "currently executing" decoration, which might help the user to find out what is going on.
Switching to the next suspended process instance seems quite rude to me, honestly. Considering the issue to be fixed.

tested and verified using 11/24 caps6u1 build and was able to debug the project and see the thread and the status of
execution.
