I recently bought BlitzMax and love it's object oriented approach. However I am having a problem with debugging. When I use debugstop to just quickly skim over a bit of code, every time I use step (f9) the graphics window takes over the display for a few seconds and then returns to the IDE. This makes debugging in this manner impossible.

Any ideas?

If you are running it fullscreen, try using windowed mode
(i.e. graphics 640,480,0,0 )

This method of debugging is the Bees Knees.
I wish I had learned about this sooner.

Now that Perturbatio has solved your problem, you'll
probably encounter this one: The IDE resizes itself when
you step. How can this be fixed?

Thanks Perturbatio (that's as hard to write as it is to say!).

That worked a treat.

Have you noticed that the new 1.12 IDE uses Ctrl+Cursor to move between tabs? This is a bit naff as I always use those keys to move within commands on a line.

drew, my IDE doesn't resize itself when I step through but I have seen it do that occasionally, seems like an intermittent bug..

Thanks again.

Yeah, and that's probably why some people have called him "perty" in the past. hehe.

That's one of the things Perturbatio posted a fix for in one of the other threads yesterday...
