Hi Mike, The debugger is not reliable to begin with, but there might be a valid reason why you can't set a breakpoint, e.g. because that line is commented out.
I don't understand "but I can add put statements... NOT in the getProp/setProp handlers". What do you mean? It is possible that you have a character in your script that messes things up, e.g. a NULL character or a return (rather than linefeed) character. Set the script to empty and retype. Don't copy-paste. You might also use a hex editor to find such characters and tools like BBEdit and TextWrangler allow you to see invisible characters. Surely, stacks can get corrupted, but I have seen this happen only once during the past few years. The reason was that the stack was moved from Windows to Mac and opened, while text fields and scripts were somehow not re-encoded. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/1bq Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!
