Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD. Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD. Might be considered as a nice-to-have, but the user can already select any expression and see it evaluated in the tooltip. |
When an application is suspended (and a current runtime position highlighted in the source code editor), a user often needs to: 1) If the current position is at an 'if (...)' statement, the user often wants to see values of variables which are part of the boolean expression (condition) 2) If the current position is at an assignment statement ('var = expression'), it is probable that the user wants to see the result of the assignment. I suggest to allow: - in case 1): Display values of all variables participated in the boolean expression of the boolean statement (at the top / bottom of the source code editor if possible so that the users does not need to look far from the code). - in case 2): Display result of the assignment statement after the next step.
