Description Phil Sager 2002-01-19 22:49:41 UTC 
When I am debugging a program and need to check java api I first have to 
restart. The external web browser (IE6) will not start when the IDE is check 
stopped.
Comment 1 Jan Chalupa 2002-01-20 21:22:43 UTC 
Re-assigning to the correct component.
Comment 2 Jan Chalupa 2002-01-20 21:24:42 UTC 
...and setting appropriate properties.
Comment 3 brinkley 2002-01-21 13:19:39 UTC 
Will not be able to fix in 3.3.1
Comment 4 Jan Jancura 2002-01-21 20:16:57 UTC 
How to reproduce:
1) start debugging examples.ted.Ted
2) add breakpoint on line 142
3) select Help / About in Ted application
/ debugger should stop on line 142
4) NetBeans menu / Help / NetBeans Open Source...
/ IE page is not opened imidiatelly. Its opened after debugger is 
stopped.

Workarround exist - decreasing to P3.
Workarround:
set different default HTML browser
menu Tools / Options / IDE Configuration / System / System Settings / 
WEB Browser - set Swing HTML ... for example.
Comment 5 Jan Jancura 2002-01-21 20:23:00 UTC 
Bug is not in debugger implementation. May be Windows DDE?!?
Comment 6 eadams 2002-01-22 10:45:40 UTC 
Waiver Approved.

Do we understand why there is an interaction between the 
debugger and the external process?  Seems odd to me.
Comment 7 iformanek 2002-01-22 15:12:01 UTC 
Waiver approved
Comment 8 Jan Chalupa 2002-01-22 15:21:25 UTC 
Waiver approved by QA.
Comment 9 Phil Sager 2002-01-23 02:23:45 UTC 
Yes but the internal simple browser based on swing is soooo slow, and 
the font is soooo small...(whine)
Comment 10 _ rkubacki 2002-02-08 13:30:49 UTC 
Can you check whether the browser is invoked if you stop the debugger.
There is really some problem with DDE vs. debugger interaction.
Comment 11 _ rkubacki 2002-02-22 16:42:46 UTC 
Browser is not opened because stopped 'ATW Windows' thread in debugged
application blocks some processing in Windows. So the workaround is to
resume this thread in debugged application (or simply continue execution).
Comment 12 _ rkubacki 2002-05-30 12:28:44 UTC 
See the bug 21375. Either we need architectural change in extbrowser
(replace DDE with something completly different) or fix in JDK.
