I can't clear breakpoints using idlwave_shell [message #37778] Tue, 27 January 2004 16:21 Go to next message

I'm running idl 6.0, idlwave-shell 5.2, gnu emacs 21.2.1 and RH9. I'm
having the following problem with breakpoints: If I set a breakpoint at
line 18 in file source.pro using C-c C-d C-b, and the message

"breakpoint,'source.pro',18

appears in the *idl* buffer, but the message

"Failed to identify breakponit in idl"

appears in the minibuffer.

If I then list all the breakpoints, the new breakpoint appears in the
list, and if I execute source.pro, execution stops at the new
breakpoint, but the line is not marked in the source buffer.

If I then try to delete the breakpoint using C-c C-d C-d, I get the message

"Cannot identify breakpoint for this line"

in the minibuffer, no message in the *idl* buffer, and the breakpoint
is not removed.
Any ideas how to fix this bug?
