When a friend is running an older version of GDB, he is getting this
error message:
Error: text doesn't contain any characters tagged with "_show_variable"
What is the usual cause of this?
Text hover in the source window is supposed to cause a little balloon to
appeara with the value of the variable over which the mouse is hovering.
When this happens for the first time the mouse is moved, a tag is added
to the variable. Then when the mouse stops moving, the tag is consulted
and the value is put into the balloon and displayed. Looks like there's
abug in this area (namely, it is possible for the tag to have become
invalid).
What version of insight is this? Got a testcase?
