Description Lou Dasaro 2015-01-23 20:33:57 UTC
*Filed on behalf of anonymous user*
"I'm trying to use the debugger and it seems to work at first. I have a breakpoint inside a while loop, if I step over the code line by line until the while condition is reached and then press resume execution button everything will continue to work fine, meaning the variable window will be refreshed automatically and next time I hit the breakpoint everything works as expected. If,however, I continue stepping through the code and exit the loop or stop the debugging session with the stop button,the next time I hit the breakpoint the variable window no longer refreshes itself, it still works but I have to change tabs and back again to update it. The only way it seems to get it working again is to restart NetBeans."

Should be solved with the new debugger when we add it. The debugger is currently disabled. Closing this since there is no point into importing it elsewhere.

Thanks for your evaluation Julien. Reporter, if you think your issue is still valid and needs to be addressed, don't hesitate to reopen it with additional information. Closing for now.
