It works with newer stacks and their standalones, only the old stack shows this behaviour.

I will bother the Pro Support tomorrow. Let's see, if they can help.

I never thought to check the stack file version. You could Save As with the latest LC version and see if that helps.

The debugger is not initiated, although i have set red breakpoints and even used the Breakpoint keyword in the script and selected RemoteDebugger to be included in Standalone Settings.
