Problem with ExtendScript debugger app
I have a weird problem with the ExtendScript debugger application.
When my script hits a breakpoint, Bridge stops doing anything and the ExtendScript Toolkit window bar flashes in the system tray. I click on the ExtendScript window bar to activate that app and bring it to the front.
When the ExtendScript debugger comes to the front, I see the code window appropriately, but the other panes in the debugger are not active. They are grayed out and clicking in them does nothing. I can't inspect variables in the data browser.
But, if I minimize and then restore the ExtendScript app or click on another app and then come back to ExtendScript or just hit Alt-Tab once and then Alt-Tab again, everything fixes itself and I can then use the data browser fine.
This appears to be some sort of ExtendScript bug. I know how to work around it, but it's an annoyance that seems like it should get fixes at some point.
