Bug 236465 – Web Inspector: click to re-enable breakpoint clears automatic continue

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector

[Jeff Johnson]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new breakpoint
2. Add Action
3. Enter some JavaScript to evaluate
3. Select "Automatically continue after evaluating"
4. Close popup
5. Click the new breakpoint to disable
6. Click the new breakpoint again to enable

Expected results:
Automatically continue after evaluating is enabled.

Actual results:
Automatically continue after evaluating is disabled.

This behavior is very problematic when I need to repeatedly disable and re-enable a breakpoint.

Currently clicking on a breakpoint with actions will cycle through `Enabled without continue` -> `Enabled /w continue` -> `Disabled` in an effort to make it easier to switch between the first two states in cases where you may only want to pause sometimes, but always want the actions to be run. This was implemented in r161687.

This 3-way toggle doesn't seem very discoverable, especially since all other breakpoints are click on, click off.

Might I suggest a little separate widget to the left of breakpoints that have an action, and thus have the Automatically continue option? Then the breakpoint and Automatically continue can be separately toggled easily.

Just looking at Xcode for comparison. Xcode does not have a 3-way toggle. However, Xcode does open the breakpoint popup for editing on double-click, whereas the web inspector does not. Thus, it may be a good alternative for the web inspector to edit the breakpoint on double-click.
