When I'm paused in the Java debugger, the contextual menu items
"Watch", "Inspect", "Display", and "Execute" are always grayed out,
even when I have an expression highlighted. They work fine in the
release version of 2.1. I don't see a bug report for this yet, so I
wonder if it's just me who is having the problem.

Arghh, in prototypical bad form, I posted while I still had one
small thing in mind to try, and it works when I try it. It seems
that the menu items are not enabled when a variable is highlighted,
as it was in 2.1. My apologies for answering my own post...
In a related note, are "Inspect" and "Display" extremely slow for
others? Perhaps they execute without the benefit of the JIT.

More on the behavior I was describing: if I have just the characters of
a variable highlighted, the menus are grayed out. If I have even a single
extra space highlighted, the menus are enabled. For example, say I'm in
a method with the debugger paused, and the method's class has an instance
variable "foo" in addition to a large number of other instance variables.
To see the contents of foo, I could just open "this" in the variables
view, but to conserve screen real estate (i.e. not have to see all the
other instance variables of "this"), I normally would just highlight
"foo" and select "Inspect". As of 3.0 M1, when "foo" is highlighted, the
menu items are grayed out. However, if I highlight " foo" or "foo ", the
menu items are enabled and I can inspect foo.
So, before I add a bug report, I'd like to ask what the intended behavior
is. My view is that the menu items should be available when any expression
is highlighted, and that includes an instance variable (e.g. "foo"), which
after all, is just a shorthand for the expression "this.foo".
