The current context selector dropdown in console does 2 things:
- only shows messages from the current selected context visible (when 'Show all messages' is not checked)
- sets the execution context for evaluations from the prompt
Proposal: console prompt can have its own execution context selector on the right. This leaves the selector in the toolbar responsible for visibility only. We can then remove the 'Show all messages' checkbox and use an 'all' option in the dropdown.
Questions:
- When you choose to view messages from context A, do you expect the prompt context to change to context A as well?
- When you change the prompt to context B, do you expect the visibility selector to filter out all messages that do not come from context B?
