I had the previous version of Lazarus that has the expressions area in
the watch list  now I got 1.0.14 and all it has is the value area with
no more expression area so I can keep track of what is what .. did you
people remove the expression area or is it me that don't know how to
get that part to show in my watch list?

It did not get removed.

Maybe you accidentally dragged the column width? The IDE remembers
(stored in EnvironmentOptions.xml).

Position the mouse on the very left of the "Value" header. The mouse
cursor should change to a resize symbol, then change the width.

@Martin
Perhaps in WatchesDlg.pp the TListColumns.MinWidth property for the
Expression and Value columns could be set to a low default non-zero
value, to avoid one of the columns disappearing accidentally?

Need to see if it will be honoured by the code that restores from xml.

And that info needs to be available, in the global options too..
Because column width can be set there as a number.

And it be odd, if you specify 0 there, and it does accept it, but does
not do it.
