Can I expect that break points in Pharo work in the same way as in Visual Works?
When I set a break point in Pharo (6.1 on Windows), it displays a red dot with an exclamation mark and when I send this message to an object, the debugger doesn't get invoked.��

Sorry I'm not familiar with VisualWorks.��
If I define this method (Pharo 6.1 on Linux)...
�� Object >> myTest
�� "Object new myTest"
�� self halt.
�� self inform: 'test'.

then evaluate the comment, a debugger is invoked.

If your example is different, could you explain it in more detail?

By strange co-incidence, I've just experienced a similar problem, that I've never seen before.

Slightly rearranging my previous example...

�� Object >> myTest

�� "Object new myTest"

�� self inform: 'test'.

�� self halt.

evaluating the comment pops up 'test' but doesn't open a debugger at the "self halt".

It was working earlier today, but since then I had an episode which opened a large number of debug windows.

I guess it could somehow be related.��

Actually its worse, Spotter doesn't show any contents,

and "1 inspect" from Playground does nothing, although that does work from the old Workspace.

All a bit strange.�� I'll move to fresh Image.

I can upload this Image if someone cared to give it a once over.

btw, version info...
