All the sudden my debugger won’t show variable values. This happened after I fiddled with the column widths of a listbox in the debugger. I can now see the pane and the variables listed but no values.
I’m using 2021 r3.1 on Windows desktop.
Any suggestions?
Welp, I fixed it by breaking a running program and dragging the column width bar (which was invisible) and somehow the values column showed.
Not intuitive.
Yeah, that’s a bit finicky, there should really be a minimum size you can shrink the columns to so they don’t vanish, I’ll make a ticket about it later. Glad you got it sorted.
Thanks. I have not figured out quite how to read the celltag contents of a listbox in the debugger without widening the columns. That’s what got me in trouble in the first place.
I suddenly have the same problem, macOS if that matters, with 2022R4.1. I’ve cleared the cache and trashed com.xojo.xojo.plist without any effect. The same problem occurs if I run an older version of Xojo and if I create a new project. I’ve widened the window to see if the second, Key, column is too wide to see it’s right-most boundary, but not matter how wide I make it (very, very wide) I don’t see a second column.
Any ideas what to try next?
Did you log out and back in? The prefs are cached.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did that, but it didn’t help. I finally fixed the problem with some combination of deleting the com.xojo.xojo.plist, reinstalling Xojo, and magic. I retrieved the old .plist with Time Machine and I see the problematic setting:
| Debugger Databrowser Column Widths | |
|---|---|
| 129, 0* |
How the heck can that happen?
