Description ?ukasz Pogorzelski CLA 2010-12-01 05:48:17 EST
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

Let's assume that while debugging in the Expression View we have expanded some List and its elements. Now if we mispell expression (our list) than "variable cannot be resolved" will be shown, but below list elements doesn't disappeared.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Debug example code line: "List list = new ArrayList(4)";

2. When list is created add "list" variable to Expressions View and expand it to see elements.
3. Mispell list variable and see that elements doesn't disappeared.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
