DeBug window?

in NetLinx Studio
It seems that almost every time I initially go to open the debug window it won't open and after a couple of seconds of waiting I'll have to click start debugging again before the Watch Bar window opens. It's been like this from day 1 after loading NS3. Any one else have this problem? It's only somewhat annoying which is why I've never mentioned it before but if I'm not the only one maybe it should be put on the list of things to fix.

    yes, but I've never really bothered to report it. I have a problem with click the mouse anyway and half the time it's probably me.

    But, yes I've seen it.

    I think the problem is that closing the watch list without using the 'Stop Debugging' option in the debug menu hides the watch list, but does not actually stop the debugging process. This means that the 'Start Debugging' option in the debug window is actually stopping the debug process and you need to click it a second time to start debugging the second time.

    The problem only presents itself if the watch list is closed using the close button on the watch window, but works properly if the debug drop down is used to start/stop the debug process and show/hide the watch list.

    That does appear to be the case so there's just a bug with the Watch Bar window's "close page" button. It actually closes the window, makes NS3 think it's closed which is why it presents the option to "Start Debugging" under the Debug tab but the process is still running or more likely not all a flags get properly set.

    Like I said it doesn't really bother me that much but if they would correct this in the next update it would be appreciated.

    This may seem silly but it was annoying me too. So I decided to map a hot key to make pressing it twice easier. I found that the window comes up the first time every time with the hot key.

    I always use the hot key as well and never noticed this bug. Alt+B, Enter is your friend.
