Breakpoints on a Global

[Bob Sneidar]

Aye I can already do that as a scripted breakpoint. if myGlobal is not an array. But where to put it? By the time it comes back from something I call a single key has been created by another handler, and there is no line I have encountered so far that actually sets it to empty. What is actually happening somewhere is that I am getting the dgHilitedIndex of a datagrid, and then putting the dgDataOfIndex into this global array, when there is nothing selected in the datagrid. My problem is finding where this is happening. I will try to find it using the search feature (very handy btw). It would be easier if RR fixes this daggum problem though. This is a feature that used to work. I know because GLX2 used to do this successfully.

Does anyone know a workaround for this? I am in desperate need of finding where an array is getting set to empty. For whatever reason tracing it has been extremely elusive.
