Re: [GD-Windows] strange debugging problem

[Andras B. <and...@gm...>]

This is an old thread, but I think I've finally found a solution that
always works (none of the other suggestions really worked for me):

When the program is running, first pause it from Visual Studio, then
place the breakpoint, then resume running, and tadaam! :)
