The debug view is open. Occasionally, not every time,
and almost always when I am debugging an object program,
the breakpoint appears to be set, but doesn't stop the
code. Recompiling the code seems to fix the problem.
The behavior is different from what I experienced with
IDL 7.0.4, for example.

Cheers,

David

P.S. No problems on Macs with a Snow Leopard update?

Hi David,
do you have the debug view open somewhere? I had trouble with this
when the debug view was not open.

Sometimes when I add a breakpoint it only starts working after the
routine is recompiled. I have not identified which conditions cause
them to be missed, but every time it happened recompiling the program
solved it. I use mostly 7.1 in Linux.

I had the missing breakpoints several times with objects (IDL 7.1 on
windows). It seemed to work again after recompiling (even no changes)
and/or restarting the workbench. Not sure whether it's similar problem
though.
