John ANDERSON reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

"+" button doesn't seem to do anything on debugger display

Type             : Bug
Priority         : Low
Gambas version   : 3.16
Product          : Development Environment


Description
-----------

I might be doing something wrong, but the "+" button on debugger display says "Add Expression"...but nothing happens.  I select an expression from code display, hit "+" and nothing obvious happens again. 

I think it is supposed to add a selected expression (from code page) to watch list?  But maybe I assumed wrong.

It would be helpful if these buttons had a message like "Please select an expression to watch from code window first" if you had forgotten to select an expression before trying to add to watch list.  Maybe Gambas does that but I'm not doing it right.

In other IDE's typically when you add an expression it will take what you have selected in code window - OR you can just type in the expression into the watch list directly.  It seems like Gambas wants you to select an expression from code window only - and it looks like you can't edit the debugger watch list if code is not in break mode??  Or maybe I haven't found out how to do that.

Mailing list didn't have much response when I asked there.
