When I click the Debugger Step Into the debugger does Step Over. My Netbeans version is 6.5.1 btw. which I can't find in the "Found in version" drop-down in this bug report form. So I chose 6.5.
6.5.1 is almost 6.5 (with a few patches), thus we do not have extra 6.5.1 version here. We've fixed issue #163249 recently, which describes a Step Into bug. Therefore, can you please verify whether Step Into works fine in 6.7 with patch1 (which is going to be available by the end of July), or in current 6.8 dev builds? Thanks. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 163249 ***
It maybe resolved but not for me. Your suggestion to upgrade doesn't help me too because 6.7 is full of debugger bugs too. Manly because a new features are added to the product. Is this the software development strategy for the product? We have to upgrade to get bug fixes? Bad strategy. That will make us do research for another IDE with a proper development strategy in place. Too bad because it could have been a good product. Actually from version 5 I have been very patient and there isn't been a version any more that I could really use because something as essential as the debugger was constantly full of bugs.
