JdeBug - Help- local variables do not expand in 2.2.9 beta6 (etc)

[Milan Zimmermann]

After upgrading from  2.2.7 to 2.2.9 beta6, I had multiple problems, some of 
them I was able to work around, but three (at least) I do not know what to do 
about.

1.
I have the customization variable set that allows to show Local Variables 
on each step. I can see the Local variables buffer with all the variables, 
but when I try to expand them by keyboard-entering + on the [+] I get a 
message:

Text is Read Only - Attempt to change text outide editable field

For instance, it happens when typing + to expand this in the Local 
Variables buffer

[+] -- this

2.
The fact that JdeBug often does not show in the menu (looks almost random, 
there is ways to fix but none works 100% for me). This has been discussed 
here, I thought I have a workaround, but it does not always work (for 
instance when openning a second, third etc java file where I want to put a 
breakpoint to.

3.
In JdeBug, even though I have my breakpoints set by line numbers, when 
attaching remotely, the breakpoint do show yellow, but JdeBug does not stop 
on them - only after reasserting the brekpoints manually.

Appreciate any input/help

Thanks, Milan

Javier, 

thanks for your reply. Please see notes inline:

  For instance, it happens when typing + to expand this in the

 Local

  Variables buffer

 It is a read-only buffer, to expand it using the keyboard hit enter when
 the cursor is in the first braket i.e [
 ^
 or use the middle button on the mouse.

The keyboard operation gives the same result (read only buffer) no matter 
where on the line I am ([+]). However, I did not realize I can use the mouse, 
that works - Thanks

(still somewhat curious about the keyboard operation disabled, but mouse is 
fine)

 If anyone could find a way to reproduce this, that would be really
 useful.

Thanks for looking into this.
To duplicate (at least here), when I double-click on A.java in explorer, it 
used to open with JDeBug in the menu, now it does not. As well, opening a 
second java file from dired  almost always fails to show JdeBug in the menu 
...

 I would look into this.
