The Scope Variable window in the dev tools would be more useful if it didn't get reset after each "step" of the debugger. As a developer I *need* to be able to see my variables change. I scroll down to the variables I want to see, expanding objects, etc and then step and have to do it all over again after every step Putting them in the watch is not has useful 1) Because it's more work and hence more tedious 2) Because I can't edit values in the watch window.

Can you reproduce it? I can see that expansion state of local variables is restored after each step in the debugger. Tested on Chromium ToT and 23.0.1271.26 (Official Build 160934) beta.
