[DUG] I broke the D2006 debugger

[John Bird]

If you mean the "Project/Build All Projects" option that was one of the
first things I tried....

The only thing I can think of was last week when I had an exception when
running an earlier faulty version of the program it threw an exception read
of address 000000 (which turned out to be from an uncreated stringlist) and
I ticked the option to "ignore this exception type" and it never stopped on
that after that....I think I found the option to turn the ignore off under
"tool/options/debugger/borland debuggers/language exceptions" ... But that
didn't change anything with ignored breakpoints...

It will stop at breakpoints in other units, but not this one (which calls
rvSystem1.execute later on).

The program has cruised effortlessly over 4 breakpoints - showing all the
progress messages in a nice little information form window I put up in
between each one to prove it does so....(not a modal window btw - it shows
where it is and closes after a second)

I really liked the debugger while it worked.  It was one of the best
features of Delphi.

It was such a relief from my old language having to write extra code to show
internal info to the screen or log files.  Now I am right back there.....

John, are you doing a build or just running the app ?

I suggest doing a build if you are not.
