Yeah, I have noticed that the Lazarus debugger (GDB) doesn't work so well sometimes too...

Also a big annoyance for me is that most of the time ctrl+click on a variable doesn't do anything (or let you in the first place), and typing a variable name then the '.' doesn't seem to bring up the list of properties/methods/fields
