Description Alain Lee

When the target is not connected, users are able to enter an expression and hit the Go button. A traditional rendering is then created and shows all XXXX in the table cells. There is no message indicating that the target is not connected or the data is inaccessible. It would be better if the Go To Address, Go and New Tab button are all disabled until the target is connected.

I meant the rendering was not showing any data when the target is not connected.

   With the many of the changes Teodor added when there is no 
   valid selection the memory Browser now removes the expression
   entry field and the GO/NEW TAB selections.

   Are you sure with the 7.0 release you do not have what you
   want here.

   At least this is the case for my HEAD latest code.

The Expression text box disappears only if the selection is not a valid selection. But, if it is a valid selection but the target is not connected, the express box is still editable and the Go button is enabled.

memory browser will switch to unsupported selection when launch is terminated. Can  you check if selected ILaunch is reported as termninated in calls to ILaunch#terminated? At least this works for GDB CDI/DSF backend.

This works fine when the debug session is TERMINATED. However, this happended to me when the target was not CONNECTED. In our product, TERMINATE and CONNECT are not the same. We can launch a debug session with a target but the target can be manually connected or disconnected. 

After discussion with our team, we think it is ok to leave the Expression box and the buttons enabled. You can reject this bug.

Wontfix. There's no "connected" state info in ILaunch model.
