Breakpoints on a Global

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi Mark. Actually, this was back when GLX2 encompassed the debugger too. Apparently you still cannot set a watched variable on a global. That is the problem I am having. The instant I set the watched variable I crash to desktop. It may be an issue with watching an array variable. I will check that.
