Delphi IDE hangs while debugging threads

Question

This is kind of a follow-up question to this. When I'm debugging threads in Delphi (BDS 2006 with update 2) my IDE often hangs, e.g. when the execution runs into a breakpoint that I have set after the app started.

Do you have similar experiences? What do you do about it?

Answer 1

There have been reports of this with pre-D2009 versions = I remember BCB2006 suffering from this.

The workaround - IIRC - is to remove the "Local Variables" debug window.
