Re: RDI 9.6.0.5 Disable break-points not showing as "Grey-Out" when status is *DISABLED* <Sad>

Hi Mike,

I ran a test prior to asking for the PMR. The icon is depressed, but it doesn't remove the debug annotation.

In Eclipse it uses a \ over the annotation and disables the icon. We should do the same. I've run into the same issue Ken has, and it's quite annoying.

Isn't there already an indicator (of a sort)? I am going from memory here and I would have to check but I believe that is there are a couple of shapes of breakpoints depending upon whether the BP has been set in the program object or in the source. Then when the breakpoint is active/applied there is a little tick in one of the bottom corners. I don't know offhand if skip all breakpoints actually removes the breakpoints or just doesn't stop when they are hit - it could very well be the latter.

Steve,

I will open a PMR# on this tomorrow.

ON Visual Studio, the active break-point is RED, and an disable breakpoint is GREY. But, I know that RDI is limited by Eclipse.

Thanks again!

Hi Ken,

I'd suggest entering a PMR.

New behavior should be entered as an RFE. Bad UI design is a defect, and therefore a PMR.

Eclipse standard (just like the skip all breakpoints icon) is to disable and strike though. I'd prefer to see RDi change to use this same standard.

Thanks for helping make RDi better!

Steve Ferrell

Hi,

I am running into a debug break-point annoyance. Bad UI design.

So, we have two options with Break-Points:
* Enable (bright colors, because it is ACTIVE)
* Disable (Grayed out colors, because it is DISABLE) <thumbs up!> Good UI!

But if you clicked on the button: "Skip All Break Points" or shortcut (Ctrl
+Alt+B).

All the break points show as *ENABLED* (bright). Bad UI design!

I checked with My Microsoft Co-workers, and VS Studio ALWAYS show their break-points "grayed-out". If you select "Disable all break Points". Or if you disable them individual. Unlike RDI. <RDi failure>

Microsoft Visual Studio IDE *ALWAYS* show the status of the break points!
<Bravo!>

Another note on break-points UI in RDi.

If you toggle between *LISTING *SOURCE view, you do *NOT* always see all your set breakpoints. Depending where they were set. Either in *LISTING or *SOURCE view. Toggle between views does not refresh the "painting" of break-points. <disappointment>

On the plus-Side 5250 debug *ALWAYS* shows all break-points properly (Enable/Disable)! No MATTER what view you toggle.

Do I have open a PMR to get this functionality to work properly? Or is this RFE, because that would be an "Enhancement". Since the original design of the UI seems poor. <Puzzled-Look>

Once again, time wasted, due to bad UI.
