VS 2015 Locals window disappear

Question

In Visual Studio 2015, I am suddenly unable to see my locals window. It was working fine a couple of days ago, but since yesterday, if I click on Debug -> Windows -> Locals nothing happens. No window no nothing. Same thing if I click on Debut -> Windows -> Watch 1

Anyone else experiencing that? Is it a known bug?
