Hi,

If I drop in to the debugger and set a watchpoint, then continue, I'm
just left with a blank debugger screen with the message:

Program “MyApp” is executing.
Choose Stop from the Debug menu to stop it.

and yet the app doesn't appear to be running, no matter how many times I
hit the run button.

This doesn't appear to happen if the watchpoint gets altered within the
same call that I dropped in to to set it. The the debugger correctly
jumps to that point.

This is happening across all projects, so I don't think it's my code
upsetting it.

Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround?

Thanks

Steve

P.S. It's a PP project, and a Dual 1.43 G4.

It's running. It's just glacially slow. Go out for lunch.

Or take a vacation. :) It's often that slow....
