Fix problem where session hangs during debug

When running debug of RPG program, with program called via green screen session on System i, and I go to remove or add a breakpoint, my PC (Windows 7) hangs. I end up having to use Windows Task Mgr to kill the RDP session. I never had this problem with version 7.6. I am on version 8.0 now. I recently used IBM Installation Mgr to get latest updates, but that made no difference.


Use Case:

see above

    Thank you for taking the time to explain your issue with our product. This issue would be more easily resolved by opening a Problem Management Record (PMR), since it appears to be a defect or change in behavior in the product from previous releases. For more information on opening a PMR, please see:

    The problem persists, and I am not the only one in my department experiencing this problem. We're all on Windows 7

    Could you please provide the exact scenario to reproduce this issue.
    We would need the program and steps that you used.
    This would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like that's a bug, would open a PMR with support

    IMHO this is a bug, not an enhancement. I have experienced this as well, running on Windows XP Pro X64. In fact I have reverted to RDp 7.6 as my productivity is severely diminished without the debug function. I had been trying to use RDp 8.0.0.1.
