1755337 - Breakpoints section in debugger un-collapses itself when using resume/step in/step out/step return

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1696157

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P3)

Description

[Tim Giles [:tgiles]]

Attachment: breakpoints-section-opens-itself.gif

So while debugging the form autofill component, I've set a lot of breakpoints. Most of the time I don't want to see all of these breakpoints so I collapse the breakpoints section/pane in the toolbox. However whenever I step in/over/return/resume the debugger, the breakpoints section reopens itself and takes up valuable real estate I was using for variables/call stack/etc.

This behavior doesn't seem to occur with the Threads section, haven't checked the other sections like Watch expression, XHR breakpoints, etc.

Thank you for the report!

I can easily reproduce the issue on my machine (Fx Nightly, Win 10).

STR:

1. Load http://janodvarko.cz/firebug/tests/601/Issue601.htm
2. Open the Debugger panel and create BP on line 35
3. Click the POST button on the page to hit the BP
4. Collapse the BP side panel
5. Step, the BP side panel is auto expanded => BUG

Hi,

This seems to be a conscious choice, if we are paused due to breakpoint hit, we expand the breakpoints automatically.
How do we want to handle the other case where breakpoints are not intentionally hidden and a breakpoint is hit?

I think this scenario particularly relates to step in/out/over, resume. The breakpoint list pane is ok to open when we hit a breakpoint,
but if it's closed by the user, it should not reopen on stepping or resuming as it's likely more obstructing than useful.
