Description Antoine Tremblay CLA 2015-03-25 15:05:55 EDT 
When selecting a process to attach to, if we are searching for a process by pid for example and we have "processname , pid".

We have to do *pid to wildcard the start of the string for the filter to match.

As a newcomer I really had no idea I needed a wildcard and expected the string entered to match anything in the string without wildcards.

I think this would be a more sane default?

So entering pid would directly match as it matches part of the string...
