Default VFP9 SP1: Debugger: Watch Bug? - 11-01-2006 , 10:06 PM






I have an array of lines to be printed on a page: this.pageline.
If I enter this into the Watch window, it shows with a boxed plus
showing that it is expandable to show the array elements, and it does
do that. However, on a subsequent run, the box is not there. If I
enter it again into the Watch window, the new entry has the box and
can be expanded. On the next run, the second entry for this.pageline
also no longer has its box.

Is this a bug, or am I overlooking something?

I do seem to be finding some interesting oddities. Where should
I report suspected bugs?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

A very annoying bug, and an old one at that. It's in VFP8 too, not
sure about VFP7, works OK in VFP3.

Considering the current debugger was introduced in VFP5, it's quite a feat
to get today's behavior working in VFP3. ;-)
