PureBasic Forum

I have linux Purebasic version 5.61 (x64), on Ubuntu 17.04.
Debug works perfectly until some days. Breakpoints works, but I cannot run step by step.

I think it is for some update, but I am not sure. Anyone with same problem, or it is only me?

Anyone with this problem in Linux?

Thanks.

I am using Kubuntu 17.04 and it works flawlessly here.

Maybe try it with a live disk and see if you can reproduce the problem on a clean setup,
if not, you know its something you have installed/running in the background.

Have you also tried to use Step by Step with the IDEs buttons?
Maybe its just something catching your F8 keypresses.

The IDE buttons get disabled, and F8 simply don't work.
If you pc works ok, I suppose there must be anything wrong in my machine. I'll try to investigate or reinstall pb.

Thank you.

So I had time to do some testing and noticed that the buttons are greyed out for me in the following cases:

I stop the program during a delay call (The buttons are enabled as soon as the delay has passed)

The program is in a call to an external library. Here the buttons to become responsive after the call has finished.
This also seems to be the case if any thread accesses a external library. (Just quick testing)
So maybe your code gets stuck in an external call?

I discovered the problem.
When I execute OpenScreen(1920,1080,32,"") or another resolution, the debug commands and buttons deactivate. Yes, F8 also don't work. Can you check it please?

I don't know what is exactly the problem, because I was debuging the program flawlessly.

Could any system update modify purebasic debug?

You are right, I can confirm it.
Also with Purebasic 4.44.

Here under Kubuntu I also cannot tab out of a screen.
Seems like you have a bug to report.

If I have time later today, I will try if the problem also exists with older Linux Versions in a VM
(because I haven't used the Screen library for ages)

I don't understand anything. I tested it in Windows and Mac, and have the same problem.
It must be a common problem, but I have a very long program and worked ok, because I had to debug a lot of functions.

So, is not possible debug a program when using OpenScreen() ?

Hi

I also experience this problem in PB 5.45 on Linux OpenSuse 43.2. Once the buttons are greyed out they never start working again, instead I have to restart PB.
