New Expressions window is clone of the first?

CCS v5.3

I have a lot of variables that I watch during a debug session. I would like to open a second Expressions window for additional variables, but when I do, it is a clone of the first window. And any expressions that I change in the second window are reflected back to the first window. Am I doing something wrong? This seems a bit odd behavior to me.

    Hi Mike,

    unfortunately, that I am aware of this is infact the expected bahaviour.  Sorry to have to bear bad news but I hope this at the very least help clarify.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Then why would you want two or more windows that show the same variables? This make no sense.

    It's more useful in multi-core devices where you can 'pin' a window to a specific debug context and have multiple windows open corresponding to different debug contexts (ex: window 1 shows values for core 1 and window 2 for core 2). Also changing the format type only applies to just that window. There used to be a way to "freeze" a window so contents do not change (and you can do a dif) but I think that may have been limited to 3.3.

    Thanks
