Description jrojcek 2006-11-28 08:54:59 UTC

Finding	
Two participants completely ignored debugger toolbar during the study and used solely the debug menu 
or shortcuts for all actions including stepping.
One participant didn't use the toolbar during task #2, but he used it for the next tasks.

Severity	
This finding is an indication we might consider changing the debugger toolbar behavior. But we need to 
make sure that the new behavior is also tested.

Recommendation	
Consider other ways of showing the debug toolbar.

It would be nice to know whether they were new NB users. I am setting TM to
future since changes of this must be carefully considered IMHO.

Will be considered during debugger redesign planned for next (post-NB 6) release.
