Yes, I get the Pop-up menu with Shift+F10, but when I select it, I do not get the window to add the watch break point variable. Where I usually have to enter in the size to monitor...
(It worked in WDSC 6.0/7.0 RDP/RDI 7.5/7.5/8.0/8.5) But not RDi 9. <frown>

Ever since RDi 9.0 many of the pop-up functions do NOT work, it won't give me secondary options. Such as "Find Selected/Filter"...

I think this is a clue. I haven't seen any issues at all with popup
menus. I am able to use both the mouse and the keybpard to select,
summon the context menu and go deeper into the choices off of the
context menu.

RDI 9 has forced me to do the "Double-Take"/"Repeat Second time to work". So, on Find Selected/Filter, I have to do it TWICE, to bring up the second pop-up... The old "Dual Stroke" method... <Frown>

Another clue! So this inability to reach deeper context menu options
isn't limited to debug - there are other instances where you can't
navigate deeper. Are there any cases where you CAN navigate deeper?
For instance, Navigate > Show in properties? Compile > Compile prompt >
Work with compile commands? Do the context menus work in other PC
programs? Excel or Word?

PS. It always seems I have the most problems with the debug perspective in RDI, when that should be one of the main reasons to use an professional IDE... <frown>

I don't often debug a running job, but I recall that you do, so I tried
it. Run > Debug Configurations > IBM i Debug Job. Watches work for me
there too.

One other thing struck me - does your corporate IT lock down your PC?
Enforce any specific Windows policies? What antivirus are you using?
I know that Windows 7 has taught me to never ever install anything from
a network drive, always install as administrator and never in the
c:\program files directory - where is your RDi installed? Some of this
behaviour could be attributed to the specifics of your PC setup. /Could/.
