debugging options don't seem to exist.

Hi!
According to http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Debugging_with_Code::Blocks, i need to find a "watch <varname>" option, on the right-click menu after clicking on a variable name (last instruction). This option, however, doesn't appear to exist. If i right-click a variable, "toggle breakpoint" appears as mentioned on the same page, but not "watch <varname>".

I'm using Linux (debian), compiled from svn 4261 (it's from wednesday, 7/15), with g++ 4.1 and gdb 6.4.

I'm not certain if this is a bug in the latest svn source; but my instinct tells me nobody's been removing menu options lately... :?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Biplab:
I can see it exists. You may try it in a longer way. Please left-click at the variable name so that the current cursor position becomes adjacent to the variable. Now do a right-click. You should get the options. :)

I tried with the cursor adjacent to the left, right, and right smack in the middle of the variable before right-clicking. I also tried selecting the variable before right-clicking.

So far, the menu item hasn't shown up.

Note the "watch 'shiftKeyIsDown'" entry in the context menu.

I know where it's supposed to be. It's not there.
