When I'm running in the debugger and there are LOOPS that take 'some time', there is *NO* indication on screen anywhere (that I can find) that tells me the debugger is actually still running. If I open the WATCH window, there is a PC counter that shows activity, but it slows down the operation phenomenally so I prefer to leave that window closed if possible - especially when I KNOW the loop will take a while.
But it's still disconcerting to come back 20 minutes later (I know that debuggers run slow) and find absolutely NO indication that it's still (or ever was) actually running. A single character toggling is all I want - the less time it takes to render, the better... Just SOMETHING to say it's not locked up or I forgot to ... even start it?
