Debug windows will not stay visible - Windows 10

(1/2) > >>

Windows 10

When I run debug, debug windows like Breakpoints and Watches disappear, regardless if they are docked or not. If I enable them again they are working as expected, but each time I continue they do a little jump then go away. I haven't used this program in years, but I don't remember this problem.

Also on Windows 10, when the program is starting up the window jumps a lot in the toolbar as if it is opening and closing real fast.

Miguel Gimenez:
The jumping effect is fixed in the nightlies, but the fix was not applied to the release.

Is it possible to record this as a video?

The windows still disappear, but in the nightly the shaking is gone both on the toolbar during start up and inside codeblocks when the windows disappear (sorry I missed that the shaking was fixed in the nightly).

Anyways, I could be dumb and not understand why the debug windows are closing.

Here's the video (quality isn't great).

Again, the program works fine, I just can't get those windows to hang around. At least in the nightly they just insta-vanish now instead of bobbling out :-P.

The first disappearance is expected.
There are 3 modes (they are called perspectives, see View -> Perspectives):
1. editing full toolbars
2. editing minimal
3. debugging

When starting to debug something C::B switches to the debugging perspective. There is an option in Settings -> Debugger -> Common -> Perspective for this. Unfortunately there is no option to disable the switch :(
So you have one layout of the windows for editing and one for debugging.
Once you're in the debugging perspective and then setup everything it should be preserved next time you start C::B.

But you should be able to save your settings. Sometimes saving settings doesn't work for various reasons.
Are you able to make a change to a setting that lasts between sessions?
