Description Navid Mehregani CLA 2010-03-12 12:25:07 EST 
Reproduced on CDT-Master-I201003091218 build.  

Follow the instructions below to reproduce the problem:

- Click on Window > Customize Perspective > Command Groups Availability tab > Select Debug Update Modes > Click on OK
- Open Variable, Expression views and notice the refresh button in these views
- Bring up a modal dialog box (e.g. Find dialog box).  Open a source file and press CTRL+F.  Notice the refresh buttons go away!! They come back when you cancel the modal dialog box.

I had a feeling that the solution of tying a capability to an action set was too good to be true :-(  I found a couple of related bugs in the UI: (bug 207070, bug 208238).  The problem is that the UI changes the active contexts when a new window is activated, so I don't know whether a workaround or a fix is possible... it'd take some investigation.
