First of all, let me state that I'm a complete newb to Mac/Cocoa programming. I'm working through both Kochan's and Hillegass' books, and I'm currently around chapter 3 of Hillegass, where he introduces the use of the debugger. As a professional software engineer, I understand the immeasurable value of a good debugger, but I'm seeing some strange behavior in the Xcode debugger.
When I first followed the directions in Hillegass for setting a breakpoint and running the debugger, everything worked fine and as described. But whenever I try to run my app again, it just runs right through my breakpoint(s) without stopping at all. In the breakpoints window, I've verified that the breakpoints are enabled. I've tried clearing all breakpoints and setting new ones, but that doesn't change anything. The only thing that seems to fix this is restarting Xcode, but then I still only get one good "run" through the debugger before it stops working correctly.
I've noticed that the "enabled" checkbox in the breakpoints window changes from a check to a minus sign after I try to run the debugger, which makes me think that Xcode no longer thinks the breakpoint is valid, but I don't know why this would be, nor how I can fix it.
I realize the description of my situation might be vague, but does this sound like a familiar or common problem to anyone else?
