Description
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
- Load a Gameboy Advance Rom (I used Pokémon Leaf Green in the screenshot)
- Open the RAM Search and look at an area of memory (I used the top of IWRAM for the screenshot)
- Find an easy-to-control address and set a watch on it (I used address 0014 of IWRAM)
- Update the address and observe the discrepancy
Host env.
- BizHawk 2.7.0; Windows 10 Education 1900; Intel/NVIDIA

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in BizHawk's RAM Search using a Game Boy Advance ROM and a watched IWRAM address, then compare the Changes column with the watch value after updating memory. Done means the Changes column increments consistently when the watched address changes.
