[DUG] I broke the D2006 debugger

[John Bird]

Well that does add something to the puzzle - as in the whole project only
one unit shows the blue dots in the left, and that is the only one where the
debugger stops with breakpoints.  However I can alter and recompile the
offending unit(s) and the resulting program does reflect the changes, with
or without blue dots.

I tried opening other projects and rebuilding and they all show the blue
dots.   So lets rephrase the question - what is the difference between the
appearance of the dcu and other altered features in the program (which are
working) and the blue dots and the debugger (which are not).

Yes I have searched for other instances of the dcu files and have found
none.

Do you have Software Assurance John?

This really isn't a good QC report because you haven't provided steps to
reproduce.

Does the unit when breakpoints are not triggered get the Blue dots in it. Do
the blue dots appear in the correct locations. Add about 10 lines of
whitespace in a function and see if the blue dots are still lined up
correctly with the code in your unit.

You might have an old DCU on your path that the compiler is finding before
your modified unit. Have you done a system search for the unit name to make
sure it isn't elsewhere on the system.
