I only just realised this. If stepping over a build, once you move the cursor by selecting a different action, there’s actually no way of knowing which action will be executed the next time you press F10 to step. Maybe a little icon in the left margin is needed?Steve

Actually that’s not quite true, the Status column (if visible) gives an indicaton, but it’s not foolproof.

yes, this is true. It’s a fine line between disabling mouse clicks in the action list and showing the status somehow. I wouldn’t quite call this a bug… because as you note there is a paused indicator. And as soon as you step or resume the build the currently running action does get the selection.

I guess the problem is when you hide the status column (as I had done). VB, Delphi and others have a tiny little arrow in the left margin. Maybe something like that? _shrug_Steve
