Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-10 22:16:46 EDT 
When I inspect or display an expression in the debugger, it always resets the selection
to be the line for the current instruction pointer.
It should leave the selection alone.


NOTES:

	This will be better addressed if we move to using an instruction pointer instead of relying on 
	selection to show the current line of execution.
Comment 1 Darin Wright CLA 2001-10-15 12:20:46 EDT 
In 204++, the text selection is only re-set if the evaluation takes longer
than 3 seconds, and eventually completes. We no longer collapse/expand stack
frames when doing an evaluation, unless it looks like it could be in an
infinite loop or deadlock (i.e. we wait 3 seconds and collapse the stack frames
if the eval has not completed). If the evaluation does complete, the thread
will suspend, and the selection will change to the location in the program
where the thread suspended.
Comment 2 Joe Szurszewski CLA 2001-10-17 13:51:17 EDT 
Verified.  Works as described in previous comment.
