User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Can't add a watch with "Add Watch Expression..." via the shortcut menut.
However, Adding a watch expression via the interactive session, for example
"/watch-expr i", does work. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create A breakpoint, reload web page, and wait for break in execution.
2. Right click in the Watches window and choose "Add Watch Expression..."
3. Enter a variable, eg "i"
4. Press OK.

Actual Results:  
Internal error dispatching command “watch-expr”.
ReferenceError: treeView is not defined @
<chrome://venkman/content/venkman-views.js> 123

Expected Results:  
The variable to be added to the Watch window.

This bug appears in Venkman 0.9.94. In 0.9.80 (from Mozilla 1.6) there was no
corresponding bug: I was able to "Add Watch Expression..." via the shortcut menu.

There is no 0.9.94 that I'm aware of, 0.9.84 is the most recent, and it's for
firefox only.  Does 0.9.83 (the latest venkman for mozilla) work?

Yes. Sorry, typo. Was experiencing bug in 0.9.84 for FireFox 1.0.

Not inclined to dowload 0.9.83 just to test this bug. I'm not being grumpy here,
just I've got limited time at the moment. 
 
Suggest you try "Add Watch Expression..." on whatever latest build you prefer to
debug 0.9.83 or 0.9.84, on any simple test page. Works for you?

Thanks, by the way, for your, and all other's, efforts on a truly superb
javascript debugger.

when trying to add a watch, the following exception gets thrown:
ReferenceError: treeView is not defined @
<chrome://venkman/content/venkman-views.js> 127

I tested this on Venkman version 0.9.85

I can add watches fine in Venkman 0.9.87 on Firefox trunk, both when paused and when not.

Reporter, can you still reproduce this? If so, we'll need more precise steps.

I can now add watches fine too, when paused or not. (Venkman version 0.9.87 & Firefox 1.5.0.4)
