RAM Search Changes column does not update

[SuperDragonite2172]

Summary

The "Changes" column in BizHawk's RAM Search window does not increment when values in memory update. Setting a watch for the address correctly tracks the changes.

Repro

1. Load a Gameboy Advance Rom (I used Pokémon Leaf Green in the screenshot)
2. Open the RAM Search and look at an area of memory (I used the top of IWRAM for the screenshot)
3. Find an easy-to-control address and set a watch on it (I used address 0014 of IWRAM)
4. Update the address and observe the discrepancy

Host env.

• BizHawk 2.7.0; Windows 10 Education 1900; Intel/NVIDIA

CNR with Pokémon Emerald in 2.8 release. By "update" I assume you meant trigger an update by playing the game, though I also didn't see anything weird with poking.

Apologies for necro.

The "Changes" column does nothing unless Options > Mode is set to "Detailed" (the default is "Fast"). This may or may not be what OP's problem was (maybe it was that changes during a single frame aren't counted #3304), but the UX needs improvement regardless. edit: For example, the cells in the Changed column could be greyed-out in Fast mode.
