In the MyEclipse perspective, if I right-click on the line gutter to toggle a breakpoint in a Java source file, the indicator does not show up.

If I then switch to the Debug perspective, I still don’t see the breakpoint decoration. If, in the Debug perspective I use the hotkey (Ctl-Shift-B) I can toggle the breakpoint on and off and the decorator shows up fine.

I’m not sure if this is a MyEclipse bug or an Eclipse bug, but it’s certainly annoying.

Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.

Loads. None of them, however, are correlated in time with attempting to toggle a breakpoint.

That is weird. Does double-clicking work correctly? BTW, it should be independent of which perspective you’re in since this is an editor behavior. I’ve tried to replicate the issue with the same build but can’t. In the past, I’ve had problems with “phantom breakpoints” that I cleared up by selecting all of them in the Breakpoints view and deleting them. You also might try restarting Eclipse with -clean (eclipse.exe -clean) one time to rebuild the plugin cache to see if that helps.
