Call stack buttons reversed in CVI 13

[TonyG614]

I just noticed that the call stack buttons in CVI 13 are opposite from CVI 12.  When I hit a break point in CVI 12, the Up Call Stack button is selectable and will take me "up" the stack to the function that called the function with the breakpoint.  In CVI 13, when I hit a break point the Up Call Stack button is dimmed.  Clicking on the Down Call Stack button takes me "up" the stack to the previous function.  In other words, their functions are exactly reversed from previous versions of CVI (and opposite to how I think they should be defined).  Is this on purpose, or did my installation get messed up somehow?

Hi Tony,

The short answer is this is on purpose. It was decided during developement to change the behavior of the Up/Down Call Stack menu items. A full list of behavior changes in LabWindows/CVI 2013 can be found in this white paper:

https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/13/labwindows--cvi--2013-behavior-changes.h...

The reason for the change is to be consistant with how we display the call stack in the Variables and Call Stack window.
