Pin the evaluate variable popup
Answered
When debugging you can alt-click a variable to inspect it. When you do that a pop up appears which automatically closes when you left click outside the popup. Is it possible to pin it in order to stay open? A workaround is to add the variable to the watcher and then remove it when done, but it would be more easy to just pin the already opened popup

I also find out that when you alt click on the variable and then on the popup window right click on the variable again and then choose inspect a new window appears which stays open even if you click elsewhere.. but in the same time the original pop up does not close until the "inspect" window is closed. So you have two pop-up windows open, showing the same thing without being able to close the the first one! weird behavior...
You can use Evaluate Expression from the context menu.
