auto update of memory viewer doesn't work

[Strugglemeat]

checkbox is checked, values get modified, nothing changes in the memory viewer
this is using linux build
also, can we get formatting options for the text? dark blue on dark gray background is so difficult to read. maybe it's pulling my theme in making the window gray (instead of default white?) but I don't seem to have any manual control over this

edit: I got the text display color not showing up situation fixed by using "./bsnes -style Fusion"

edit2: the text auto-updates as expected if execution is not stopped. however, if execution is stopped, and I step in the debugger, and values are changed in memory, those changes are not updated in the memory viewer until I press the 'Refresh' button. is this on purpose?
