Yes, make sense to me, the |Run Clear Copy| buttons should be displayed on a standard toolbar that is on that top. However the red "minimize" button that switches from multi-line commandline back to one-line, should be still at the bottom right corner so, it has the same position as in the one-line mode.

This is already implemented in Firebug 1.6 http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X/firebug-1.6X.0b1.xpi See also: http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/firebug/firebug-16-command-line-available-on-all-panels/ > Pane Split - Independence > Problem : The Tabs Console HTML CSS Script DOM Net have sub panes > within them that all have the same split position, but you rarely want > them in the same position.

Not sure if everybody would like this and not sure how to find out without trying and waiting for negative/positive feedback, perhaps an option? > Script Tab Variable Popups > Problem : It's a nice feature when you've paused execution and you > hover over a variable and its value pops up.

I was thinking abut such tooltip, which allows further exploration inside (using an expandable tree like e.g. the DOM panel) just yesterday (MS Visual Studio uses that). It would be really cool, I need to take a look at this one. I would wait for some feedback from others and then file separated reports. http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/list Honza > > Many thanks for such an invaluable tool! > > david -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
