RE: New "Come Back Here" Button?

I think the issue is really why doesn't the 'step out' button work. I
don't know what the "come back here" button would do differently anyway.
If you can determine under which conditions the step out button fails,
that would help a lot. Then send that information to the jswat-bugs
list.

thanks
