I asked:
Do you see problems in any of our demos? Perhaps this is something in your project settings. You might try to create a new project and add the units into this new project and check.
Yes, the TMSWeb_Bootstrap.dproj is from your demos. After opening it yesterday for the first time following re-installation of 2.6.0.0, Form1.CSSLibrary was cssNone and its ElementFont was efProperty! (I threw up my hands at that point, deciding that I needed a rest from this pursuit)
In our demo, CSSLibrary is set to cssNone and ElementFont is set to efProperty. It shows this way both with the classic form designer and with the web form designer.
These properties are not strictly necessary to render controls with Bootstrap if the controls ElementClassName properties are already set to Bootstrap class names, which is the case in this demo.
Thanks for the clarification. I had been thinking that the CSSLibrary setting for the form needed to be cssBootstrap if controls were going to be using Bootstrap, but now I understand that they are independent.
I have installed the 2.6.0.0 beta in D11 on my old Win10 dev system and do not see the stray breakpoint on that system.
Meanwhile on my current D12.1 Win11 dev system, I find that the stray breakpoint appears even when running a virgin TMS WebCore project in Debug mode with no added components if Enable Debugging inside IDE=True. If I set that False, the breakpoint does not appear. Clearly there is some specific system setting somewhere that is causing this behavior difference. Does this new evidence give you any clue as to what setting that might be?
EDIT: I just saw your notice about the updated beta. I'll install that and report back on whether that behaves differently for me.
EDIT2: Today's beta has the same behavior w.r.t. the stray breakpoint.
I just realized after looking at the IDE in D11 dev system, that the D12.1 IDE is not rendering the form using CSS settings when Web Designer=True! I suppose that means that the WebView2 installation on the Win11 PC is faulty even though there is no error message anymore when I enable Web Designer. Hmm.
EDIT: Choosing to repair WebView2 in the Installed apps menu, restored the correct Designer view in the IDE, but didn't affect the stray breakpoint action.
@brunofierens, I still don't understand what's messed up on my Thinkpad X1 Win11 dev system that causes these stray breakpoints and the on again/off again main-form CSSLibrary resets. Whatever it is has to be deep in the PC's guts, as it affects both D11 and D12.1 IDEs and the IDE on the Win11 VM hosted by that system. I just updated its BIOS hoping in vain for a solution.
But I now have a work around at least: Use Firefox Dev Edition browser and the breakpoints don't occur (and I'll ignore the CSSLibrary settings on the main form).
We have been further investigating.
Can it be your Chrome instance initialize shows a special screen for search engine selection?
I don't think so. (N.B.: Both Chrome and Edge have the breakpoints) Here is the screen that appears when I open a new Chrome window:
We found a machine where we can reproduce this.
We could eliminate the breakpoint already but there is an issue with how this browser has now first a page asking for the search engine configuration that interferes. We keep researching this.
Thanks for the update. I installed the 2Sep24 2.6.0.0 beta on my Win10 D11 IDE (which was not showing breakpoints with the previous beta) and it now shows that breakpoint in Chrome and Edge browsers, but not in FF Dev Edition.
Meanwhile, my current Win11 dev system with the 2Sep24 beta is showing the following new error messages when opening the Design view:
We work on an update to bypass the browse unknown profile initialization issue with Edge & Chrome.
For the property errors, what is specific about this project you open?
I have seen at least the "Cannot read..." one even when opening a new (plain) TMS WebCore Application if there was before an open project that provoked those errors. (And then the Design view appears corrupted with stuff from the previous project) If I close and reopen the IDE and then open a new project, there is no error message.
