Description Deepak Azad CLA 2011-01-25 08:17:07 EST 
I20110124-1800

For conditional breakpoints a history of conditions is kept - global history (common across breakpoints), and local history (specific to a breakpoint). However in Breakpoints view there is no way to identify which is which, and it gets quite confusing. At times I am left wondering, why did I enter a condition for a particular breakpoint before realizing that it is global history.

It would be nice to separate global and local history in the UI. 

- In the dropdown there could be a separator between 
Local history item 1
Local history item 1
---------------------
Global history item 1
Global history item 1
Global history item 1

- or the global history items could have a different background color/font etc

I agree. This would also be helpful in cases where the popup menu doesn't show any difference between two entries. When I know where the global entries start, I have a much higher chance for picking the right one.

So - you would like to see the same element(s) in local and global history and not fix bug 335302?

Yes, this would be nice.

I did not investigate bug 335302 in detail. I just saw too many entries and I didn't understand the logic on first sight. I think we should have the separator first, and then we can see if any other changes are necessary (probably none).
