debugger shows blank until it highlights

Description frankioski 2009-01-12 23:30:51 UTC
When debugging, I frequently encounter the Debugger View and the Local Variables windows completely blank. It stays
blank even after stepping around code.

Reassigning to debugger for further evaluation.
Comment 4 Peter Pis 2009-01-13 09:19:22 UTC
I haven't managed to reproduce it. Some steps would be helpful.
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2009-01-13 12:16:58 UTC
Not a debugger problem.
Likely a cause of:
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0
	at java.util.ArrayList.RangeCheck(ArrayList.java:547)
	at java.util.ArrayList.remove(ArrayList.java:387)
	at org.openide.explorer.view.VisualizerChildren.removed(VisualizerChildren.java:252)
        ...

I guess this was already submitted somewhere...
Comment 6 Tomas Danek 2009-01-13 13:31:11 UTC
sounds very similar like issue 153154, but i guess root cause is different...
Comment 7 frankioski 2009-01-15 00:57:06 UTC
I do remote debugging. So you'd need to got to Debug -> Attach Debugger. Select "Java Debugger (JPDA)"; connector is
"Socket Attach"; transport = dt_socket.

Those are the steps.

The Local Variables of the Debugger View appear blank until I click in the value field.  With the field highlighted, I can see the value in it.  So it seems that the 
foreground color and the background color are the same.

The issue does not present itself for me with JDK 1.6.0_11 but it does with JDK 1.6.0_12.
