Can't change value of a variable in the expressions window

With a simple sketch that increments a variable 'count' I can view its value in the expression window but if I click and change the value the next time I click 'continue' the variable value just reverts to the original value and continues to increment from there.  I assumed that changing the value would do just that, change the value???

Think I've found the answer:
a: add =? to action e.g. {count=?}
b: must be stopped at action breakpoint to change value, not any breakpoint.
see: https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Working-With-Breakpoints-Wh...
Suggestion: change user guide text from - if your sketch is halted in a breakpoint - to - if your sketch is halted in THE breakpoint

Thanks for the feedback.

We will review this, and it can depend on the scope of the variable and where the breakpoint is set when it is edited.
