Description Michael Spector CLA 2006-06-25 03:28:09 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #146077 +++

-Launch debug session.
-Move to variables view.
-Right click -> select all variables.
*** All variables descriptions are missing.
(it works only if adding variable one by one with ctrl button.)

Tree.selectAll() does not cause a callback, so the viewer does not fire a selection change in this case.

Investigated a little and found that updating the action to force a selection change works only for the 'non-virtual' items. If there are items in the tree that are non-visible, selection does not work properly (as those virtual items have not been popuplated with underlying model elements). Tricky.
Comment 3 Darin Wright CLA 2006-07-27 16:16:53 EDT 
One workaround is to use "Shift-Select" - i.e. click the first item in the tree and then "Shift-click" the last item in the tree to select all items.

Nothing planned for 3.3. Working around is to use Shift-select.

I don't think we can fix this without loosing some of the virtual view properties.  It's a compromise.
