Is there a plan to have refreshing values in debugger?

Hi

Is there a plan to have refreshed values (instance variables) in
debugger and inspector?
This is super annoying to have to refresh the complete list in the
debugger to see new values
of instance variables.
Why we cannot put back the old pulling behavior and in the future use
reflectivity?

Hi,

The support for polling is available since more than 1 year. The problem is that it is too slow to render the tree using MorphTreeMorph. We wanted to wait until Reflectivity would allow us to capture all objects events, but as that will not happen in Pharo 5, we now want to play with FastTable to see if it would be fast enough.

The issue is here:

Cheers,
Doru

I am really reluctant to change code for every view… this needs to be tested like crazy before being ready.

And

        -> what about methods already on the stack?

It is not simple… it would need a lot of care.
