Description Andrew Sharpe 2001-12-19 15:58:08 UTC 
Like most other IDE's, selecting "Pause" should automatically step into the 
line of code being executed at the time of the "Pause" selection.  Often times 
when I am debugging, the program will be running (or blocked somewhere) and I 
need to know what it is currently doing.  Unless I have a breakpoint there, I 
can't think of any way to do this.

Andrew, I just read your report, and I think the debugger does do
this... more or less.  Maybe the problem is that when there are
multiple threads, there may be multiple lines of code being executed
when you click pause.   Maybe you are saying it should show the
current line of executing code in the same thread that you last were
looking in?
Comment 4 _ lcincura 2005-05-12 14:07:38 UTC 
The debugger stops execution of all threads when Pause is invoked. To see where
particular thread is executing, find the thread in Threads view and invoke Make
Current. Then Call stack view will display the call stack of the thread and
program counter will be shown.

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