Clicking the line number in the gutter no longer toggles the line break-point. One must right click > Breakpoint > Toggle Line Breakpoint. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201508230002) Java: 1.8.0_45; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.45-b02 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_45-b14 System: Mac OS X version 10.10.4 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_AU (nb) User directory: /Users/bryan/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/dev Cache directory: /Users/bryan/Library/Caches/NetBeans/dev
Strangely this is intermittent. Clicking about I see that in some circumstances it functions, but others it is not functioning correctly.
Brett, are you talking about toggling breakpoints in Java files? Can you give us an example of line of code which does not accept the breakpoint? Does it happen during debugging session or before you start one? Can you record a video of the malfunction?
I'm not able to reproduce this. Can you please provide some specific test case? Also, can issue #254667 cause this problem? Can you please check whether this NPE is reported when you're unable to submit the breakpoint?
I can't seem to reproduce the problem at this point in time, though an IDE restart has occurred since. I had actually attached a remote debugging session to a remote web app. I was clicking the gutter on a line (145), it seemed that I could click the 4 and 5 eventually but couldn't click the 1. Interestingly an enhancement would be for gutter icons where it's the only icon that a click anywhere on that lines gutter should click that icon, for example if a breakpoint is active but no suggestion icon appears clicking to the left of the breakpoint icon will do nothing. Anyway, I am closing as I can't reproduce my original problem.
