BUG in debugger values.

Hi,

In the debug Auto and Locals window the value that has changed becomes
highlighted in red, BUT the Watch window does no highlighting, why the
inconsistency?

Would it not be better if this window was also change highlighted?

Enum Flags INCORRECT values displauyed in debug window and intellisense.

If I have multiple bits set on an enum marked as Flags (bitfield) and have
the someBitfield = A | B, the value numeric is correct but the name shown
in the watch window and intellisense is incorrect, it is just showing A and
not A | B, this is misleading and wastes time with partially correct (and
therefore incorrect).


Thanks.

Never seen that. On my machine values in the Watch window DO become red when
they change.
 
The user watch window I am referring to, not the Auto or Locals tabs.

and the enums is definately a bug :D

Can you make sample program for me? I will check it. I can't see that
problem on my machine.

Good luck
