Re: RFE needing your support

[Greg Wilburn <gwilburn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a PMR related to the debugger and SEPs...
======================================================
After setting an SEP and running a program through debug.

1. Open ANY source member and edit/change it... select large blocks of    
source and use CTRL-X to cut it.                                        
2. Use File Save As to save it as a new source member                   
3. Compile the new program                                              
                                                                        
Now right click anywhere in the "calc" area of the source member (I     
work in /Free)                                                          
                                                                        
The only options available are:                                         
SAVE, CUT, COPY, PASTE       

The remaining options are completely missing (not just greyed out), yet the corresponding window is huge.                                           
                                                                        
To recover:                                                             
1. Close the source member                                              
2. Refresh the RSE view of the source file                              
3. Re-edit the source member       

=======================================================

Seems like it may be a similar situation... where the source file is not refreshed.

I hesitate to bring this up since it happened a few months ago, I am very
inexperienced with RDi debugger, and I remember no specific details (I was
in a hurry and ended up using green-screen debug), but the problem with the
debugger in RDi picking up the wrong source is not limited to iProject
work.  I even had assistance from someone else here who has experience
using the debugger and he was baffled as well.

I haven't had opportunity to use the debugger since then, so...

So, not much help with this, but maybe it spurs a memory of a similar
experience from someone else here who can provide more details.

I voted for the linked RFE.
