1173058 - Use a different visual representation for pending breakpoints.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect)

Description

[Eddy Bruel [:ejpbruel]]

The behavior of pending breakpoints is gc sensitive: the debugger cannot distinguish between a location for which we have no scripts, and a location for which all scripts have been garbage collected.

This can lead to scenario's where a breakpoint set on an empty line either slides down to the first non-empty line, or remains pending, depending on whether the script for that line has been garbage collected or not.

This sort of inconsistent behavior is potentially confusing for users. Jlongster suggested this situation could be improved by using a different visual representation for pending breakpoints.

closing as this relates to the old debugger.
