Jacque.

I have now the opposite issue. :roll:

After setting the "breakpoints" custom prop to empty, execution still stops at the line where a red dot once lived before the reset. There is nothing there, and execution will continue properly if I set it going again, but it will stop each time I run the handler. An invisible red dot.

You have to be careful what you wish for. "Clear all breakpoints" fixes that, so I will change my tool as you pointed out. But weird, eh?

Using the "Clear all breakpoints" in the Development menu may be easier, though you'll only see that menu when the script editor is frontmost.

Edit : oops, I didn't see your last reply when I wrote this.

Edit 2: It sounds like breakpoints are being held in memory, so it isn't enough to just clear them in the property.

I am always in the SE when I run into the problem, so that is OK. I can still use my gadget, since the SE is merely a stack.

Sounds like you are correct about the dots being still in memory. How else do it know?
