6.15.3 Miscellaneous options

The Misc page presents miscellaneous, high-level debugger options.

Use a new debugger for each thread

When checked, uses a new debugger window for each new thread you choose to debug.

Confirm before entering the debugger after an error

When checked (the default), presents an application error dialog asking if you want to abort the current application, continue with a selected restart, debug the application or exit the application. See Figure 2.3.

Expand stack backtrace when first opening debugger

When checked (the default), expands the stack backtrace one level, to show stack frames. Otherwise just shows the application's thread number and title.

Expand first stack frame when refreshing debugger

When checked (the default), the debugger displays the first stack in expanded form and selects the code whenever a debugger appears or is refreshed.

Refresh all open debuggers when entering debugger

When checked, refreshes stack information in all threads' open debugger windows upon entry to the debugger by any one thread. Otherwise only the debugger window for the thread that has entered the debugger will be refreshed. This option is not checked by default.

Open debugger window on pause button

When checked (the default), clicking the toolbar Pause button or choosing Application > Pause causes the application to enter the debugger as well as pausing execution. Otherwise these actions only cause the application's execution to be paused. This option is checked by default.
