Re: RDI 9.5.0.2 Function keys stop working in Debug...

Ken,

I'm sure you've probably already tried this, but sometimes the function
keys become disabled when RDi has the focus in the wrong view. (The icons
for these functions also get disabled.) I've been able to get them working
by simply clicking in the "Debug" view (the tab labeled Debug--not the
perspective). So simply "Flip" to the Debug view (perhaps also the editor
view--I'm not sure about that) and see if your function keys are working.

[WDSCI-L] RDI 9.5.0.2 Function keys stop working in Debug...

Hi,

I am using RDi 9.5.0.2 and inside of debug, and every so often my
FUNCTION keys for Play, Step-Over, and Step-Into STOP WORKING!!!

<frustration>

I think I have found one way to duplicate it:


1.) Start debug with RDI...

2.) Use functions for Step over and/or INTO. Works Great!

3.) Flip to OUTLINE view for analysis, to find a field size...
Using LPEX, the editor will give you pop-up tip on the attributes.
But, this functionality "disappears" in Debug-Mode for whatever reason.

4.) Then try use Function keys for Debugging again. And they all
are SHUT OFF!! They no longer work!!!

This has been a long time annoyance for me for a VERY LONG TIME!
Which makes me extremely frustrated at RDI DEBUG...

Oh well, at least I found "one way" to duplicate Function keys stop
working for debug....

working in Debug

PS. Haven't had my Delete and/or Backspace key fail me in quite a
while on RDI! <Joy Joy> That normally was VERY RARE, but still drove
me MAD... <LOL>
