#28 Line highlighting broken after first breakpoint
I just built ebe from git SHA 4cf10270322b25d06fe1eecb98277433e0c35e04 on an Ubuntu 20.10 system. GDB is version 9.2 and LLDB is 11.0.0.
I'm seeing some problems with the line highlighting for the debugger. With GDB, the line highlights with a light blue background once the first breakpoint is hit. However, once I start stepping through code, the highlight is gone. At first, I thought the program had just exited, but then I discovered the Console view and verified that the debugger is indeed still running. While not ideal, I can follow the Console.
With LLDB, I don't even see the line from the first breakpoint highlighted. In this case I can see in the Console view that the debugger is running and stepping properly. It's just that the active line is no longer being highlighted.
As a follow-up, if I set a new breakpoint and "continue" to it, then that line will be highlighted. But, stepping into or over breaks highlighting again.
I just discovered that while stepping through does work, the register and data displays don't update either. This issue may not be highlighting-specific and could just mean none of the UI (outside the "Console" view) is updating while stepping through code.
Has there been a resolution of this ticket? We are experiencing the same problem as Kevin Menard described. We are wondering whether this might be related to getting the message "Failed to get the current screen resources" when we launch ebe (on our Linux server). If it is related, are there any suggestions regarding resolving that message? We are using XMing to handle the X11 terminal.
