Description Mathias Kunter CLA 2013-10-01 14:56:06 EDT 
It would be nice if the step into command would skip over any external code by default. The current implementation considers inlined functions within external headers as well, and even asks the user to locate external source files.

This behavior is almost always unwanted, since there usually is no need to debug any third party code. The step into command should thus only step into code which belongs to the current project by default. Users who really want to step into external code as well should have an option to enable this.

This may be related to bug 303119 which also changed the behavior of the step into command.
