Description Tomas Pavek 2009-08-27 10:43:10 UTC 
If evaluation results are shown in Variables window, there is no indication after evaluating an expression where the
result is; it is even not visible when the Variables is scrolled away.

After invoking evaluation, the result should be selected in Variables window (scrolled to view if necessary). Focus
should stay in evaluator window. Even better would be to blink with the selection so there is a visible indication that
the evaluation happened.

We need to add API for node selection in debugger views first.
