Debugger

[bigsofty]

My debugger Tab window (to the right of the main IDE window), is always blank, no variables show here, even when the debug button is active on the toolbar? Also, when I break execution using a breakpoint. I don't see the current line being executed as well as no variable dump? Actually apart from a few extra compiler messages and being able to continue a run after a breakpoint, the debugger seems to do nothing?

I'm a big stub man, so I rarely need the debugger anyway but lately I could have done with variable viewing at runtime during a particularly nasty bug hunt... without resorting to the DEBUG command?

Eeek.  Sounds like something is wrong there.

The only issues I have with the debugger is that it doesn't show TYPE's which is annoying, but everything else is working for me.  Hopefully Gernot can help you out.

oh no! It works OK for me, too. Maybe switching to another tab and then back helps? Or minimizing, maximizing the window?

Nope, nothing, I put debug on, set a break point and the execution stops. There is no indication in the IDE that debugging is on, no variable dumps, no visible line of execution etc...

OK narrowed it down a little bit, the "Main Program" can be debugged if its edited directly after load but if I load in a project and just edit a library file ("Sources") and add a breakpoint, nothing happens at all or it breaks into the code but displays no debug info...? Its quite frustrating.
