Vscode: Debug.toolBarLocation :docked doesn't works well

[dholakiyaankit]

Issue Type: Bug

after updating the vs code I changed my code to
"debug.toolBarLocation": "docked"
This doesn't work all the time, the debugging panel disappears time to time.

VS Code version: Code 1.24.0 (6a6e02cef0f2122ee1469765b704faf5d0e0d859, 2018-06-06T17:35:40.560Z)

I am experiencing the same thing, the UI panel just disappears at times (still running tho)

The debugging panel should only appear while you are debugging, that is designed behavior.
If this is not the case then please provide a video showing the issue.
Or exact steps to repro. Thanks

[dholakiyaankit]

as you can see it doesn't appears event if I am on debugging mode.

For more info:
I have this in my console

Error: Set breakpoints request timed out
    at Timeout.setTimeout [as _onTimeout] (c:\Users\.vscode\extensions\msjsdiag.debugger-for-chrome-4.6.0\node_modules\vscode-chrome-debug-core\out\src\utils.js:71:24)

That error is not connected to this.
You have the explorer open, it is only shown in the debug viewlet. Please open the debug viewlet for the bar to be visible.

[cROSs116]

Oh, i see what u mean, its only on the debug tab, not the behavior that i was expecting with docked :(, going back to "floating", would have loved it on the explore window aswell. Please make it a feature?

[dholakiyaankit]

@isidorn I see what you mean, I think this should be visible for explorer too.

[isidorn]

Just put floating, and drag it to the viewlet area, then you will see it for every viewlet, even the explorer

[dholakiyaankit]

I know that, but how will you justify docked feature? it should be visible to any area even for the explorer.

Why would I want to only have access to the debug toolbar when on the debug panel. It makes no sense that I would have to switch to the explorer panel to open a file to set break points then go back to the debug panel in order to step through code via the toolbar. Why can't it just be docked under the menu like every other windows applications works. I have hated the floating toolbar since I started using VSCode.

[dholakiyaankit]

@nhdoublek Exactly, Its been quite a few days I want to explain the same to them, But looks like they are not listening.
