Hello all good people!

I considered this a bug, because it can drastically hamper developer's work. It is \
not an algorithmic, but interface design bug.

'Debugger error' 'Variable object not found'
This message can popup dozens of times on a row, after I step out of variable sight \
(when Variables window is open).

When I work in GDB window and type commands on cmd prompt, any of non-succesful \
messages which are anyway displayed in GDB window are duplicated by a silly popped \
messagebox. Like: 'Attempt to dereference a generic pointer'.

I agree with Bug #94034 that all these popping messageboxes are stupid because they \
don't provide any help but make an obstacle. I suggest to make something quiet like a \
log window, or just a log file, or even not notify these situations completely.

I want to attract your attention Bug #141320 that GDB cmd prompt losing its focus \
after each typed command is very annoyng. I can not work without this patch. But it \
is not applied since february!

On the following issues I am not filing bugs and not have verified their presence in \
bugsystem, because I don't have time, sorry. But I ask you to pay them attention.

Right mouse button popup on selected text in gdb window contains only "Copy All" and \
"Show internal commands", but no "Copy". Edit menu does not permit to copy too. This \
is design flaw.

By the way, thread list is very buggy! In brief, just now it has repeated all my \
threads ten times in a row! 52 threads x 10 times = 520, not a candy for an eye. It \
has problems with stack frame display too. In particular, ellipsis expansion can go \
beyond a boundary and list framestack second, third time, in circles. Not \
configurable ellipsis displayng only 5 levels of stack frame force me to click on it \
when I have enough display area.

Thank you for your work!
