Re: [cdt-debug-dev] CDT 4.0 wizard page problem

[John Cortell <john.cortell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I'll buy the precedence for the test classes adding to the UI (a 
new view, e.g.,), but hopefully not for rendering a key feature 
useless. :-) Just giving you a hard time. It's clear you recognize 
this as a bug, but given the redesign work you've mentioned, and the 
easy workaround, I have to agree with you that ignoring this makes 
the most sense. Thanks for the info.
