My only excuse is that I've been avoiding stepping through the
debugger because LC has been crashing when I do that. I've sent in
many crash logs but it's only recently I've discovered it happens only
with Step Over. It's hard to believe no one else has seen this, which
I've been seeing since LC 9 first came out, but that's why I didn't
know what was in the variable.
I've been seeing this too. But it's time to confess my abysmal ignorance
- how do I get a crash log ?
On Mac, a huge dialog appears with the crash log in it. I select all,
copy, paste into a text document and save it. On Windows I don't know,
but if there's a system log (like Console displays on Mac) it's probably
in there.
(And is it worthwhile me getting some of them to add to the bug reports?)
Good question. I've uploaded maybe 20-25 of them so far. I don't always
bother any more.
Now that I've discovered breakpoints don't crash as long as I don't
step through, I was able to see what's going on.
I was wrong. Not more than a few minutes ago I crashed after stopping at
multiple breakpoints. It doesn't seem to matter if they're red-dot or
typed. However, it seems to take more repetitions before the crash if
you don't do any stepping.
Hmmm - I find I have no choice but to step through; the editor/debugger
so often "freezes" (i.e. when I scroll the text, the line numbers don't
scroll at the same time).
I see that all the time. If you step over, the dot location fixes itself
at least here. Until the crash, anyway. It doesn't crash right away, it
seems to be a cumulative thing, so you get a few chances before
everything goes down.
This has really been crippling my productivity. I'm sure it's a very
elusive thing to track down but I hope they can find it. If no one else
has a problem, it may be something script-related that both you and I
are doing.
So I can't just set another breakpoint further
down - I have to step over for a while until the place at which I want
to set the breakpoint scrolls itself into view.
If you have experienced crashes during debugging, take a look at
