Red dot breakpoints do not stick in v9

I did try a simple cut and paste but the break still occurred.

That is odd.

WHAT???

Red dots now stick too much?

I have never seen this, and never want to. Is there a recipe for this disaster?

IIRC breakpoints are a stack property. When in doubt about an IDE interface to this engine feature, a clean slate can he had by telling the engine directly:

Code: Select all

set the breakpoints of this stack to empty

OOoooo, I'm tucking that little nugget away. Thanks Richard!

Craig,

No recipe just an odd thing that happened.

I had credited Richard with pointing out a procedure originally from Simon earlier in this thread.

Clearing the breakpoints seems to fix the fragility of red dots. I am thrilled with this, since that simple task allows me to work happily ever after in a particular stack. It is not clear whether this carries over to other stacks as well in the same session. I will watch out for that and report back.

Maybe credit should go to Scott Raney, who added the breakpoints stack property to the engine more than 20 years ago.
