Description Ed Willink CLA 2014-07-16 06:24:49 EDT 
Many years ago, running to a breakpoint, selecting a Variables View element for 'toString()' in the text display and running again to the same breakpoint would retain the Variables View context.

This was nice since, you could just run, run, run until an interesting state was reached.

Now (and this possibly predates e4), there is perhaps only a 50% chance that the toString(() is displayed. It is often necessary to reselect an element.

(Possibly related; running to a breakpoint often fails to refresh the Breakpoints View, particularly if the breakpoint View was not visible and so had to be activated to see the breakpoint.)
