[Codelite-users] CodeLite debugging issues

[Carl G. <ca...@em...>]

Hi,
 I just built codelite v3.0.5050 on my 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04 natty. Things are working fine so far, except a few minor annoyances when debugging.

 1. First problem is that when I use "Quick Debug" to debug my project, a "status" pane will appear in the middle of the IDE with the title "Debugging: <program name> <program arguments>". This pane appears between the workspace pane and the source-code editor pane, so it takes away some valuable space. I can move it elsewhere or reduce its size, but I did not find a cross button to close it. I seem to be able to type into this pane, but it does not seem to execute whatever I typed in there, so I'm not sure if this pane serves any useful purpose. Is there a menu option or configuration option to get rid of this status pane?

 2. If I click the "Debug" tab in the output pane, I get a nice window showing me gdb outputs. I can also use the "send" window in the bottom to directly put in some gdb commands. That is really useful. Here's the problem: when I send a "next" command to gdb using the "send" button, I can see that the program counter is updated from the debug output, but the green arrow in the source-code editor pane is not updated (so it appears as if the command fails to execute somehow). If I use "F10" to perform the same function, the arrow is updated properly. I can live with the current behavior if this is hard to fix or if fixing this issue would slow down overall performance.

 As a side note, on Ubuntu unity interface, the F10 key is mapped by default to open the first menu item from the top panel. One can use CompizConfig Settings Manager to disable this key binding.

 Thanks,
 Carl
