Description Wojtek Bok CLA 2009-01-09 15:22:24 EST 
Build ID: 3.4

Steps To Reproduce:
Create breakpoint, choose Breakpoint Properties, click on Lock

Now the breakpoint cannot be removed until the Lock is cleared

Rationale:

It would be helpful to be able to lock a breakpoint so that it cannot be removed. This locked breakpoint would typically be used within code which normally never gets run (ie: exception handler) but where you want to see the live stack to track why it happened.

Locking the breakpoint would make it immune to the standard Remove/ Remove All menu options.

I know that you can get a confirmation dialog, but that is for all the breakpoints, not a specific one.

I thought there was a dupe of this, but I can't find it.  Though bug 113797, allowing undo to removal is vaguely related.

There is one related bug about warning before removing breakpoints with conditions (bug 151918).
