Description jbfaden 2009-06-16 12:24:46 UTC

Netbeans debugger consistently hangs my Linux/Gnome/X11 desktop if I hit a breakpoint in the debugger and a popup menu
is displayed.  For example, I want to debug as a context menu is raised in Swing, so I set the breakpoint and invoke my
popup code.  Netbeans will indicate the program counter (green bar) at my breakpoint, but the whole desktop will be
hung.  I need to switch to a different console (Ctrl-Alt-F1 on Ubuntu) and kill the process I'm debugging.

This is a known issue - duplicate of issue #93076.
Debugger suspends an application while it holds native AWT lock, therefore nobody else can access the GUI. Unfortunately
this will not be fixed, therefore you simply can not debug such code.

Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
