I didn't want to post in the bugs area until confirmed, but stepping for me is not working. If I invoke it from the toolbar or use SC step within a script, nothing steps. Yet, it appears to work from the Scripting menu > Run script. Anyone else seeing any stepping issues?

I'm on the current beta and stepping works fine for me in a script

Okay, thanks highend. As far as I can see, StepScripts=0 in the ini is the only setting which could potentially affect it, and that gets cycled 0/1 by the toolbar. I think it may have something to do with the script I've been testing which sues CEAs. For other scripts stepping seems to work fine.

For me, turning on step mode (via Scripting->Step Mode) is a little hit and miss. It works for one of my scripts (a very simple one which comprises a single switch statement) but not for another (more complex with functions, variables etc).

Also, adding the step command (step;) to the more complex script is ignored.

Yes, thanks JohnM. I'll have to keep an eye on it. It's definitely not working consistently. SC step, anywhere I put it is being ignored completely in the script I'm currently working on. I've tested with syntax checking on and off with the same result. I spend quite a bit of time working on scripts and I haven't noticed this issue until a few days ago.

I can confirm that there is definitely an issue with stepping, I will move this to bug reports. It works in fresh but only intermittently in my normal profile (whichever way it has been enabled), I can't get reproducible steps yet, I do know that the issue was present in beta 21.50.0114 and still is in current .0120.

I have an update, it seems it just doesn't work when invoked via a CTB, but does work when run from AB/CEA/CFA/Run Script dialog etc.

That's by design. It has been added 20201018 to avoid stepping when clicking "Edit..." from the right-click menu (which internally is implemented as a script).

Thinking about it that wasn't such a brilliant idea. I'll see what I can do...

Thanks Don, it's good to have stepping back on a CTB run script.
