Description Remy Suen CLA 2010-05-26 10:09:28 EDT 
Ctrl+F11 and F11 works. But if you use F11 and a breakpoint, once it gets there, the view goes blank. You can workaround the problem by reopening the 'Debug' view.

There are two parts to this problem. The first is that the EPS implementation doesn't properly consider placeholders, this has been corrected. The second part is that the renderer arbitrarily creates new widgets even if one is already there. At least, that is the case for placeholders.

This has been worked around. Downgrading severity now that the 'Debug' view is populating itself properly.

Eric added some reparenting code to the createGui(MUIElement, Object) method for bug 302758 so the early return should be okay for now. We'll use new bugs for new problems.
